So fscking the database in ordered to fsck the database isn't an issue.  
One objection down! =:^)

But seriously, the politics of the idea remains its biggest nemesis in my 
opinion.  And in systemd we've unfortunately a live demonstration of just 
how big a nemesis that can be.  =:^(  If the technical reasoning for it 
is sound and the benefit high enough, great, but IMO the benefit will 
need to be pretty high to justify the risk of political fallout, and I 
doubt it's anything close to that high.  But it's not my call, so we'll 
see.  Thinks could certainly get interesting if it's judged to be worth 
it.  < Checking popcorn stash >
