As greywolf described his situation, I think it would have helped him.

There *is* a third case: when you're there working and the system falls
over, at which point you tell it to boot single-user and run fsck by
hand with -z.

As for "(in which case why is it optional?)", well, the obvious answer
is basically the same one that applies to everything in rc.conf: one
site may want it and another site may not, even though each site's
choice may be the same from one boot to the next.
