mount command absurdly verbose?

These are autofs-automounted local homes.

autofs mounts these home directories "on-demand", switching between 
nfs-mounts and bind-mounts, depending on whether they are local or remote.

In this case, they currently are all local.

FWIW:

f14's mount displayed them this way:
# mount
..
/home/user1 on /users/user1 type none (rw,bind)
...

This reflects the actual situation and is human readable.



f16's "mount" displays them this way:
# mount
...
/dev/sdb8 on /users/user1 type ext4 
(rw,relatime,seclabel,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)
...

IMO, this unreadable and all wrong.
