The subsystem that you currently plan to parse the /etc/fstab.d/ will intelligently add the /etc/fstab.d/ entries to /etc/fstab before actually processing and mounting /etc/fstab. So the rpm guys have their /etc/fstab.d/ convenience and the rest of the ABI is kept intact. (If you can't bit them join them) Since /etc/fstab is hand edited as well. There are lots of smart things that can be done like a remark (#) marker at the end of the file that all /etc/fstab.d/ entries get to be added after. (And a comment for the user) and some smart duplicate removal of, and so on ... Even a marker per line added.
