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

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