Right, /etc/mtab should have died about a thousand years ago :-)
Retitling bug to adjust the manpage accordingly.

Title:
update mount manpage to drop /etc/mtab
Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
mount no longer updates /etc/mtab in 16.04 when performing a mount.
This is a regression against 14.04.
I know that /etc/mtab should be a link to /proc/mounts but we have
reasons to not make this link. mount should behave as described in the
man-page.
