While I personally know how to use tune2fs to this effect, not
everybody else does. Also, it's rather easy to forget to set this. I
don't know if there is a better solution that running it at boot (I
realize that it's a bad idea to run fsck on a mounted drive), but it
would be nice to at least be able to cancel the check (assuming there's
not another solution that can run on a mounted FS).
