Well, we took the liberty to interpret noauto a little bit differently than you: everything marked "auto" will be mounted at boot, and boot will not proceed until all devices listed as auto appeared and are fully mounted (or things timed out). File systems marked as "noauto" won't delay the boot process if they aren't, but they'll still be mounted when they are plugged in, regardless whether that is at boot or during runtime. i.e. "auto" → wait for this on boot; "noauto" → don't delay boot for this.
