Imho just adding the option to turn that behavior off without also
making it default will break a huge number of systems upon upgrading to
karmic in a very subtle way.

Nobody would expect such strange mount / fsck behavior changes. And this new 
behavior breaks on almost every server box that mounts user / service data from 
a different filesystem. 
Just imagine a mail server happily accepting (and storing) mail data to 
/mnt/mail even though /mnt/mail is not really mounted. 

I'd honestly love to just have that 'feature' gone, I can't even think
of one other OS that does anything close to that. Even windows checks
all disks in case it has to befure doing anything else.

Just my 2(euro) cent.

kind regards
