I suppose, although that's a much more general change that would have many
more consequences. How was the current priority for multipath-tools-boot
selected, is there a rationale for it being as high as 3 (now 4)?
I can't say I can see the reason offhand. I suppose you want it to be
before S30checkfs.sh and S35mountall.sh so that people can put multipath'd
drives into fstab, but why would it run as early as 3 or 4?
