If that's the case, an approach for these "unspeakable" file-systems whose presence must not be recorded in fstab
would be to at least "generate" some file-system- shepherd services (and have them enabled/disabled according to mount? value).
This way there's at least a way to "start" these mounts rather than them ending up in the /dev/null abyss.
