I _like_ the new behaviour of fsck, but then again I always tended
	to prefer what felt right rather than what was historically done.

	If the behaviour is to be changed back to the old style (which
	I would prefer not to happen!), can we at least have a flag to
	get the current behaviour (damn... -c already used :)
