It's surprising to me that a regression like this is not considered a
bug. Requring special options is not a bug; changing the defaults for no
apparent reason is. Changing the default from noserverino to serverino
means that every person with an existing installation that mounts
SMB/CIFS shares will have to know about this and modify their fstab
manually during any upgrade, or their shares will appear to be broken.
That's hardly friendly. I know that NFS mounts did a similar thing with
some of their defaults in the 3 -> 4 transition, but I don't really
think that's a good model to follow and there was actually some
justification for that. Is there some reason to have changed the default
options used by CIFS mounts?
