Like Dave replied a few days ago, I'm kind of skeptical on all of these
bugs being closed by this change. I'm guessing that they are all
resolved now because a) the block writes while mounted option was set to
Y, and b) the actual bug is just masked by that.

Maybe this is fine, but it does seem a bit... sketchy? The bugs aren't
really fixed, and what happens if someone doesn't turn on that option?
If it's required, perhaps it should not be an option at all? Though
that'd seem to be likely to break some funky use cases, whether they are
valid or not.
