mount: should -vf be handled by mount ?

this isnt a regression from 2.12, just a bug report ;)

running:
$ mount -nvf / -o remount
does not exec any other programs and gives me nice output if the filesystem is 
something simple like ext3 ... but if it's something like nfs or smbfs, the 
sub mount program will be executed instead.  in the case of mount.nfs, no 
output is given (i can take that up with the nfs-utils guys) and in the case 
of smbfs, mount.smbfs doesnt even understand these flags.

do these sub programs even need to be executed ?  is it done so that the 
option list is properly filled out ?
