Are you sure all read-only file systems should be excluded?  I quite
often have systems with some filesystem mounted read-only (often /),
though granted most of those are "embedded" which doesn't run
updatedb.

Which kind of file systems were you thinking should be excluded by the
RO part which isn't already removed by loopback|network|synthetic ?

I'm not certain read-only shouldn't be excluded, but I just want to
point out there are cases where read-only still might be a local and
interesting file system.
