fstab was made for mounting real filesystems, not virtual ones. We 
already mount several virtual filesystems outside of fstab because we 
have to. This is just adding more logic: Mount stuff that is mandatory 
for the system to be functional in a hardcoded way instead of allowing 
people to break it.

NOW you're being irrational.
