The mount and umount races that were fixed in fusermount in recently and not so recently would also have to be added to util-linux, which would actually be a good thing, since in theory they could affect fstab based user mounts as well (though that is much more unlikely than with fuse, where the user chooses the mountpoint). > - should (???) be implemented using umount helpers The end goal is to implement permission checking for unprivileged mount and umount in the kernel.
