The one thing that scares me about this whole scenario is having DOS
filesystems suddenly get checked when they weren't even looked at
before, perhaps then to run into a bug which causes DOSFS corruption
and some very unhappy user(s) who never even expected FreeBSD to take
such liberties with their DOS partitions.

I think it should still be an option to enable this particular
behavior! :-)
