It looks like mds_namespace feature went into the kernel in 2016 (in
v4.7). We're at v5.5 today, so that's a large swath of kernels in the
field that only support the old option.

While I agree that 'fs=' would have been cleaner and more user-friendly, 
I've found that it's just not worth it to add mount option aliases like
this unless you have a really good reason. It all ends up being a huge
amount of churn for little benefit.

The problem with changing it after the fact like this is that you still
have to support both options forever. Removing support isn't worth the
pain as you can break working environments. When working environments
upgrade they won't change to use the new option (why bother?)

Maybe it would be good to start this change by doing a "fs=" to
"mds_namespace=" translation in the mount helper? That would make the
new option work across older kernel releases too, and make it simpler to
document what options are supported.

Someone will mount with mds_namespace= but then that will be converted
to fs= when displaying options here. It's not necessarily a problem but
it may be noticed by some users.
