It is not sensible at all and can be considered dangerous. Neither is the behaviour conventional (as `auto` in fstab should only affect behaviour on boot and `mount -a`) or ever documented at all (not even in systemd, see systemd.mount(5) and crypttab(5)).Makes sense. So is there any way to convince the older versions of systemd to remove the WantedBy relationship? It seems that systemctl won't let you.
Only by explicitly using mount units instead of /etc/fstab. I am still really surprised it was finally dropped at all - because every time this was suggested it was vehemently opposed to. May be it did slip in by accident :)
