I wouldn't expect any flags to change unless I ask for it, be it noexec, async, softdep or whatever.

I hardly qualify as a referee but I'll add that I think Boudewijn's approach makes more sense to me. Even though I quite often use -ur/-uw to drop softdep from filesystems. Especially given Boudewijn's point that putting ro,softdep in fstab results in a filesystem that would get (still have) softdep after -uw. I don't have very strong feelings on the matter (but, yes, strong enough to write this e-mail ;)
