Right, but that requires prior knowledge that the board in question is afflicted. Several people that were affected by the bug were unaware of the motherboard behaviour. The daemon solution also fails to provide any guarantees on a NFSROOT setup.
In any case, as I said, these are just defaults which may be overridden by the user at runtime.
