I can wait, no problem for me.

Anyway I remember, that Dave says something about  "new mount" will be 
disabled for 2.21, and enabled in 2.21.1.

I can remember that this "new mount" causes "-a" works in different way 
than "classic mount" (but is an expected behaviour), and initscripts 
should be updated to reflect it. (its shows a non-harm FAIL)

[mount (new): Using -a, exits with 64]
