The only patch that has been missed, but may be relevant for Atari still:

The order of the options shouldn't matter. Due to historical reasons,
it's different
on master and m68k-queue.
I thought the 'discard' marks the start of no longer used options
(i.e. option processing stops at discard). My bad.
You got me, I never looked at it that way ;-)
No, it comes from commit 681142f9211b23e6aa2984259d38b76d7bdc05a8
("fat: make discard a mount option")
I'd suggest I first test that this option is still required - will
have to sacrifice a spare SCSI disk for that.
I think there was a half consensus or so that we still need it, but
not enough to
put some weight behind it ;-)
Given that I could not even remember what it was that I had to do to
the FAT code to get it to what it does now, we best leave it at that.
Schroedingers cat, and all that :-)
commit cc9c5fc236c0d02cae44c2fbcc8ffa3ae5e517b6 ("Atari FAT updates")
more or less summarizes it. It's the logic which decides whether the FAT is
16-bit or 12-bit.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
