  I don't actually know, but it's entirely possible the change was
made deliberately.  I don't think it was ever considered a design
feature that one could/should interrupt fsck.

  Then again, maybe Red Hat just broke their initscripts.  The root
password prompt for booting into single-user mode has been broken for
like five years now...
