So it complicates the boot scripts, too.
Yes, but the RAID system is exactly like this too.
Frankly, loopback devices aren't hard to configure at all, compared to the RAID stuff. Of course, the mount command could be modified to be smarter and automagically setup loopback stuff. Or even a mount wrapper.
Having an imperfect system in this case would probably be better than none at all?
