s/mounts in fstab(5)/mounting logic entirely contained within fstab(5)/

You expect everybody that asks questions to wait indefinitely for an answer and
do nothing in the mean time? What a sad world.

An error is an error except when the code treats errors of different types
differently (which it currently does).

Currently right-now, as we speak, mount_nfs(8) is considering local errors
differently than remote errors when it comes to NFS filesystems marked with the
"bg" option.

My patch proposes that remote errors and local errors be treated the same when
"bg" is passed (which currently, remote errors are fatal while local errors are
not). You seem to contradict yourself (just sayin').
