*Will* be added. There are a number of special units in systemd. And
local-fs.target and remote-fs.target are two of them: everything in
/etc/fstab is added to one of the two. The other special units are
listed in manager.h. One of those days we should document them all and
in which way they are special.

systemd only tracks mounts as a binary thing for the dependency tree,
i.e. mounted XOR unmounted. There is no distinction between rdwr and
ro. If you want remount / during bootupt then write a service for it
that simply calls "/bin/mount / -o rw,remount" or so.
