How often do people reboot their systems? IMO, if it's running (without going into "read-only filesystem" mode) with X disks, it should boot with the same X disks. Otherwise, it might be running fine for a long time, and it arbitrarily not coming back in case of a power failure (when otherwise it would be running fine) is an unnecessary trap.
