 Thanks for this link. The patch is not applied yet. Maybe I should
 release a snapshot (at least) with urgent things like hwclock or some
 mount patches.

 But I think you should ask downstream (your distribution) maitainer
 to apply these kind of patches. They have pretty stable util-linux
 packages now. I'll need few weeks to prepare useful util-linux-ng release.

 (I'm going to add the patch to Fedora tree.)

 Please, don't use broken gitweb at kernel.org or use it very carefully.

 There is active development, see "log" in the devel branch:

   http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=log;h=devel

 Number of applied patches:

    $ git rev-list --pretty=oneline  devel ^master | wc -l
    52

 Number of patches in queue:

    $ ls util-* | wc -l
    49

 The good news is that I have more time and I work on that full time
 now.
