Based on what? I'd now many sysadmins who don't expect that e.g. the
journal is replayed when ext* is mounted ro.

I don't think there's a bight fight necessary, is it?
Just properly document all options and not only from the developers or
expert-users PoV.

Using blockdev --setro is of course an alternative to a dedicated
"hard-ro" option (or something similar that goes by a better name),...
OTOH I don't think that having such an option would cause big problems
or "religion wars" ;)


Cheers,
