That change breaks any system where there is no initrd (like mine where I build
what I need into the kernel itself).
If you're running a custom built kernel you'll get a pretty nasty series of
failure messages if you don't have an initrd where these mounts are done since
the system is pretty must screwed if there is no /proc and /sys.
Perhaps what would be more appropriate is initscripts to test to see if those
mounts exist (ie have been mounted already) and if so then continue, if not then
mount them then continue.

[I was also further hosed when the Fedora kernel wouldn't boot, it hung mounting
something in fstab, but I'll look more into that].
