The waste is the code in anaconda that's required to write this on every install. Then, if new filesystems are added between releases, you need to 1) patch anaconda 2) have truly gross %post scripts to edit /etc/fstab, or 3) you write code that just hardcodes the mount anyway. And again, listing things like /sys in fstab can just give the uninitiated the idea that it's something they can change... it's *not* a configuration setting.
