No, it's not the same story. What keeps both pieces together is mount being a 
de-facto standard.

Any fs coder who takes one of that as an fs option will have his head lopped 
at the very moment he does it.

So, start making busybox mount incompatible with util-linux mount (I mean for 
features, not for "undefined behaviour" situations) and you'll break stuff.

( I didn't know about diratime... )
