None that come to mind right now, and if there are any, I don't think
they would be affected by the probing -- aside from doing work that
would get thrown out when the script errors out.
As for the safety of probing, none of the tests I intend on implementing
are effectful. It would be equivalents for 'check-mapped-devices',
'check-file-system-availability', and 'check-initrd-modules', all of
which do little beyond looking at the devices available on the system,
and now a check that would read '%current-system'.

That'd work too, but I feel it's better to avoid putting an unnecessary
burden on the user.

Jakob
