Can you not tell mountall to force ro instead of rw? It's just that ro->rw remounts are easy and safe, while rw->ro remounts are not (you have no guarantee that the filesystem is actually ro in this state). To me it would have seemed like an obvious thing to mount the filesystems ro and remount them rw when needed, and there are lots of things where rw isn't needed. If it would be a big change, then it seems obvious to me that it's been doing it wrong from the outset.
