Why "--fake" and "--no-canonicalize" started requiring root in 2.22?

Hi,

I am trying to compile and use libfuse. Libfuse utilises 'mount' and
'umount' tools. One of few things it uses are "--fake" and
"--no-canonicalize" command options run as regular user. It worked
fine with previous versions of util-linux (2.20 from Ubuntu Precise).
But in the latest version (2.22 from Arch) it fails to run as a
regular user:

$  mount --version
mount from util-linux 2.22.2 (libmount 2.22.0: debug)
$  mount --fake
mount: only root can use "--fake" option
$  mount --no-canonicalize
mount: only root can use "--no-canonicalize" option

Should it be removed from the list of "restricted" options like it
happened with other options recently? This would restore the same
behavior that "mount" had before.
