I can only concur here, I have just been hit by it.  This is a showstopper in
quite a few cases.  Sometimes I *do need* to get my system to boot timely to get
some information or start a presentation, etc., not after the periodic fsck.

That was the whole point of the allow_cancellation option in e2fsck, which
now does not work any more. So this is not a wishlist, but a regression. It's
actually breaking another package.
