I've also found some "opposition" from developers while reporting bugs ;-) But I still find the point valid: if a mount point defined in "fstab" is not present at boot time, it should warn the user and log the error but the boot process should not be stopped at all because the mount point is not critical (i.e., is not root "/") for the system to properly start.
