I'd just say more signs that systemd was pushed into production way
early and not new objections to the (widely held to be defective in the
opinion here) design principles themselves. The failure to give a
descriptive failure message when dropping into emergency mode is the
only real unforgivable sin and it is not something the Pottering Cabal
will object to fixing. The addition of nofail to go with noauto is
properly documented in the fstab manpage so that isn't a bug, in fact it
sounds like a useful addition which should be stolen/adopted. You
really don't want a system with an unknown fraction of it's filesystems
absent to attempt booting into a fully network connected state. No foul
can be rightfully lodged against them on that score; Failing safe is
the 'UNIX Way.' If you need to fix a machine which can't boot you need
physical console access or an out of band management method such as
IPMI.
