No idea what next.

But I think if someone asks a daemon to run on a filesystem with 
inapprorpiate mountflags, we can try and warn. Other operating systems to 
that, too, see Solaris' /etc/init.d/sendmail for an example.

I don't know what you mean here.

``oh my god, he dared documenting an option which may lead people into
   problems, let's quick undo the documentation instead of fixing this
   properly.''
