Beg to differ with:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devmapper/+bug/363037/comments/2

The export option is also there in RedHat: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438604
There is a man page at Drexel which documents this option: 
https://www.cs.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/manServer.pl/dmsetup.8

"The export option is Ubuntu-specific and only used as a private
interface between dmsetup and udev - there's no reason for it to be
publicly documented" is not a valid excuse to *not* document features -
this feature is used in the "udev/rules.d/65-dmsetup.rules" - without
documentation as to what the command does, one cannot attempt to debug
the system.

In an open-source environment it makes sense to document all features,
especially those used.
