These seem sane objectives.

But I don't know how much trauma this would cause. Hasn't util-linux
already been patched with the new mount flags?
If it has, and if it uses the same names for these options, the patched
mount(8) just won't work.
The proposed new mount options should be documented somewhere.
Anyway, I'll let Ram&Al decide on this proposal.
