I agree with Bob's comments about this, in general, and have just now gone and set FSCKFIX=yes on a particular server because it would be better for it to boot with a partially corrupted rootfs than hang during boot while waiting for input. I hope it never matters, the system is on a UPS. It does seem good to somehow notify the user/admin when severe corruption has been encountered (eg. on a desktop: "press y to try fixing everything"), but also easier to pick up the pieces using backups (and trusting that the fs is no longer corrupted) than worry about whether <y> is okay for each of 500 times.
