A couple of rawhide surprises

I did the massive update on my x86-64 rawhide box today. The resulting
system would not boot. It seems that the update changes rc.sysinit,
taking out the lines which mount /proc and /sys. It's amazing how badly
the system does without those filesystems...it can't even get into
single-user mode. Let's hear it for rescue disks.
Putting the mount lines back into rc.sysinit makes things work again,
but I assume this change was made for a reason? Is there somthing in
the Fedora kernel now which mounts those filesystems automatically? If
so, people (like me) running mainline kernels will get a surprise.
I also got this message, as reported by one other:
Cannot find or run the base Xsession script.
Running the GNOME failsafe session instead.
