You don't risk data loss by interrupting a routine check (that still
happens on ext[234] every so often).

But anyway, I don't mind much dropping the cancel ability, but we do
want a proper progress report. fsck can take an effing long time with
large spinning rust, and without progress report users will just
consider the boot hanging/broken and switch off the machine. That's a
lot riskier :-)
