No, it was generated by a "bug" saying that it was impossible
to run fsck.xfs on a root filesystem.

That was largely an RTFM kind of thing but since it's normal
for some systems to come up w/ RO-root in rescue mode, and people
are used to being able to run e2fsck in that mode, it might be worth
adding a little help to our tool to accomplish the same thing.
