I would add the very presence of the "mountall" tool to this list. Lennart has described the issues with mountall in https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LennartPoetteringTheOneAndOnly/posts/ip8e1DqJdxT, and apparently the upstart developers have been aware them as well since the very beginning (at least since Ubuntu 8.04), yet the mountall manpage still says This is a temporary tool until init(8) itself gains the necessary flexibility to perform this processing; you should not rely on its behaviour. Yet no replacement is in sight even after more than 5 years. Best, Nikolaus -- Encrypted emails preferred.
