--- Comment #3 from ivo welch <ivo.welch at gmail.com> ---

thank you for taking my suggestion seriously, whatever you end up deciding.

my last 5 cents: as I wrote, most boot problems that newbies are experiencing
with systemd (i.e., after the initrd was found and loaded) are /etc/fstab
misconfig related.  anything we can do to be smart about it (for users who are
not), even if this just means giving precise fixing instructions, would be
good.  we can diagnose this better with our expertise than our newbies can with
their's.  the harm that is being done to expert users by more smarts here is
minimal.

the coding effort for some diagnoses and fixing suggestions is probably
reasonable.  (if we needed a standalone perl script, even I as a novice who is
ignorant of systemd procedures and collaborative code development, could do
this in a day.)  socially speaking, the net time savings will be very positive.
