I have no idea of the history. But, being the curious type, I just booted an F18 live

the man page for systemd.mount only specified x-systemd.device-timeout. I have no idea
if the other options actually existed and this was just an omission in the documentation.
Or,
if they were not yet implemented.
Is there a reason why people are using fstab entries with long and hard to read arguments
instead of using .automount and .mount systemd units? Systemd is just dynamically
generating the units from the fstab entries every boot, and they’re significantly easier
to read as a plain old systemd unit.
