You have one totally made-up example of something that may happen as a result of a default I didn't even advocate (but you didn't read my email). And you use that as an argument against another case that wasn't even made up, but a real issue where suspend simply didn't work, because the /home partition no longer worked afterwards. There really was nothing theoretical in my issue. On a certain class of hardware, you absolutely _have_ to make your /home or / partition be behind a USB thing, because nothing else has enough space on it. And your made-up example wouldn't even trigger if we just made a per-mount decision to mark devices persistent. So why are you arguing?
