Hello,

well although I'm not currently using it, I can see one :

it may be easier to configure .mount units independently (like dropping 
a config file into a .d/ directory) instead of editing one single file 
when done with tools like ansible for instance where you have to regexp 
match lines to edit or use blockinfile like strategies ?

Thanks
