A backwardly compatible implementation was our original goal, but
later we found out that the original output and command line options
are too useless and incompatible with the rest of the new utils in
util-linux. All our new utils (findmnt, lsblk, lscpu, partx, etc.)
use the same output style -- we don't want any exception like lslk.
..and I don't believe that anyone depends on lslk, it's useless:
$ lslk
lslk: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /root/.gvfs
Output information may be incomplete.
