The library is currently used by mount, umount and mount.nfs. The goal is to use it on more places. The /etc/fstab.d directory has been requested by people who maintains large number of mountpoints etc. The directory is not replacement for /etc/fstab, it's additional place where you can describe your filesystems. The disadvantage is that the stuff in the directory will be invisible for some tools (udisks, systemd, ...), so I have very vocal disagreement from some people who don't want to see /etc/fstab.d at all. BTW, systemd allows to define addition mountpoints in systemd.mount(5) unit file(s), so we already have additional place for fstab stuff... Commands? Objections?
