»My users are stupid[¹], let's make them more stupid[²] and helpless[³].« -- new slogan of systemd [¹] By assuming the users which really do some mount are not able to do a fsck or handle it in the right order. [²] Giving away the responsibility from the user to some software logic and adding yet another undebuggable layer of dependency logic will surely make things easier to understand and keep the leaning curve low. [³] By adding the above mentioned new complexity users are directly prohibited to learn about their system. This opens the ground for a new generation of »Linux experts« who's only task is to hide their incompetence. (As seen in many other technical markets, the Microsoft software niche.) We have seen where the hidden customer complexity theorem of Windows has led. Sincerely, Christoph Lohmann
