fsck remounts / read-write?

Hi all,
Has anybody else noticed the following strangeness: running fsck
on the read-only / (from single user) results in the / mount upgraded
to read-write? E.g.:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s3a
WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
start_init: trying /sbin/init
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
# mount
/dev/ad0s3a on / (ufs, local, read-only)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
# fsck /
** /dev/ad0s3a
** Last Mounted on /
** Root file system
** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes
** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames
** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity
** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts
** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups
3850 files, 189623 used, 64192 free (680 frags, 7939 blocks, 0.3% fragmentation)
***** FILE SYSTEM MARKED CLEAN *****
# mount
/dev/ad0s3a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
I guess that `fsck /' issues a mount reload after modifying the FS,
but IMHO it shouldn't remount the FS read-write, should it?
