If you had read the link to the mailing list posted in the bug you
refered to you would know that it is the kernel developers there
intention to have this behavior, not systemd's
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f84e3f52
speaks about /etc/mtab as a symlink to /proc/mounts, which dates from
February 2008, way before systemd was significant or even existed)

So stop annoying the crap out of me. And speak to the people who have
something to do with this, _NOT_ systemd.
