Please do file a bug.  The question is, 

a) should we turn this off completely (can be done at mkfs time)
b) add the option to fstab to run fsck if reboot count is exceeded?
c) bump up the count to 50 instead of the default 30 and do (b)?

Keeping in mind that 50, or even 30, is probably going to be rarely hit
at an actual customer site, which would suggest that (a) is quite
reasonable. <fingers-crossed>
