Yes. The one you mentioned keeps the system from crashing during bootup,
this one is a cosmetic fix that Dave wanted to make installation easier
on non-cell machines. This way, fedora can try mounting spufs during
installation, and if it doesn't mount it, it also doesn't need to add
spufs to fstab.
