Even a standard rack like this Tubus? http://www.tubus.com/product.php?xn=13

Ti not recommended for stem bolts, seats posts and racks
Having read more widely... and because I was curious, not because I am intending to go round swapping bolts... it is aluminium that cannot be used for stem bolts, seat post bolts and anything that bears a heavy load.
Titanium can be used absolutely anywhere and the only exception are pivot bolts on full suspension frames which specify a high-tensile steel (not applicable to almost every bike on LFGSS).
Some stats on weights and torques (includes a mention of the "don't use Al on stems and seat posts": http://weightweenies.starbike.com/articles.php?ID=16
All irrelevant as I like standard steel bolts... but TIL, so that's cool.

This is from their website:
Native flat-mount, Ti thru-axle drops :)
With the option for rack and fender mounts because I personally think that bikes with those things tend to adapt and evolve to use more (in part because they're standard and so it's easy to find ways to use them - I'll probably get one of the Ti racks as a way to strap a small tent onto the back and still have room for a saddle bag).
