Another comments from Thomas Fehr:
Currently we simply do not want to mount all filesystems to be able to
create the proposal. Mounting might possibly take a long time and could
even hang the machine if the filesystem is in a weird state.
I think we might discuss it here but it still depends on Thomas :) and
he's the only one who has enough information (and responsibility).
