How should the file system devs communicate their current
recommendation? If your answer is "they tell systemd developers, who set
that in systemd source, and then systemd is shipped to users", that
seems less than optimal. The "don't ship fsck.foo" or "symlink fsck.foo
to /bin/true" methods seem much better from the point of view that the
default is communicated with the filesystem tools.
