Scott,

Waiting for all filesystems is a problem for anyone:

 - who uses NM to bring up their network at login time and has a network filesystem configured in /etc/fstab
 - who has an old and no longer applicable fstab entry that they haven't cleaned up
 - who has a custom fstab entry for any sort of removable media that isn't guaranteed to be present at boot time

I realize that the implementation of 'bootwait' has been rocky in karmic, but eliminating it will introduce a whole different set of regressions, some of which users will *not* be able to sensibly work around with anything nearly so simple as adding an option in /etc/fstab. Please reconsider this mountall change.
