  | Yes. It depends on how much trouble it takes to implement that safeguard.

Since all we are ever doing is avoiding crashes, the tests are almost
always trivial.   The hard part is usually figuring out an escape path:
what to do when an error is detected that is safe for higher levels.
If one of those can be found (and one is certainly needed for non root
mounts) then it can easily be used by root as well.
