It's fairly obvious (to me, anyway) that anything mounting a filesystem
and making it available is system-critical. I run samba and don't need
it for boot, but like you said, someone may need that. I wouldn't see a
problem with smbmount being in /bin. FUSE deserves similar treatment.
LVM's another that probably deserves special treatment.
