It's arcane because NFS mounting has a lot of corner cases
that have evolved over the years. If you have an example of
dead code, can you post it?

"You are not authorized to access bug #1313550."

I'm guessing you want to use the existing addr= option on a
remount in case the DNS resolution returns a different address.
I'm uncertain why a remount should succeed in this case: if
the server has a different IP address, how was the mount working
at all?
