They are right in that the change was requested by systemd, because it
is the only decent fix to prevent /etc/mtab of getting out of sync.

But this does not mean that systemd _BROKE_ anything.
IMHO the behavior of df and mount is 100% correct, and if you
disagree, discus this with there developers.

Indeed, calling somthing that maybe isn't even a bug a "totally
idiotic bug" is the way to get things fixed.
It's like calling the person that gives you something for free a
"total idiot" and expecting them to give you anything you ask for
afterwards.

So stop biting the hand that feeds you and try to do something constructive.
