Sounds good.

This is fine for now. We can revisit the fsck.mode stuff later.

Dave: maybe we should add ARCH to the distros supporting
forceboot/fastboot in systemd, but that's a different topic.

This makes sense to me I think. I'd be inclined to think that any
hooks that get in trouble because of this are broken.

Once the bash stuff that Dave mentioned has been fixed I'm happy to pull this.
