Yes, it was hardcoded.

But vold has its own logic and why not keep the same configurations as
Android tends to take?
I mean, we can always prepare the well-defined layout and vold.fstab in advance.

Adding new codes to vold might not be a good idea since Google always
tries to improve user-space utilities and their configurations.

In my opinion, providing flexible ways in /init (no visible changes by
each Android release) is good because we have to make sure that we can
always boot from storage, and then we can do something automated such
as adb.  While, it might not be the same if we modify vold (always
changed).

Just my two cents.
