Definitely. When using chroots, it is not uncommon that some directories containing UNIX-domain sockets (like /var/run/saslauthd, /var/run/mysql, /var/run/postgresql) are bind-mounted to 5-10 different locations. Right now all that information can be kept in one single location: /etc/fstab. Having to edit the init scripts instead would be quite inconvenient.
