I still think it would be nice to have a mechanism that allows e.g. devices that are not listed in fstab nor crypttab (nor that are dependencies of any devices listed in these places) to fail silently during booting but that will involve a bit of work to implement and this type of option might provide a useful safety net in the meantime.
