If you want fsck then you should be able to turn it on, but please don't assume that anyone else wants to have fsck enabled, by default. As many people have reported, it takes awfully long to boot with fsck and that's incredibly annoying. >From my own experience, the average person will react very negatively to fsck increasing their boot time by 10-40min, especially if XP&Vista (how about other Linux distros or OS X?) don't do this annoying check. Seriously, why should we accept being disturbed by fsck? It's not like we couldn't do anything about it. There are two solutions that work for everyone: turn fsck off by default or make it work in the background.
