12 going from the "not doing it automatically" to the "doing it automatically" is
13 transparent for everyone ... baselayout hasnt required /proc in /etc/fstab in
14 a *very* *very* long time (if ever actually). if we were to start requiring
15 people to put critical stuff into /etc/fstab where we didnt before then we'd
16 certainly open a docs bug and make it get tracked and such, so i dont think
17 that's an issue at all.

19 i'd remove any mention of /proc /sys /dev /dev/shm from the handbook since a
20 user trying to tweak these mount options would be mightly confused by them
21 being blatantly ignored by default.
