The commands mount and umount

I note that umount has a static option umount.static, but I don't see
the same for mount (i.e. mount.static).
It seems the main benefit of static is to ensure the command will run
if there is a problem with runtime-linking or if libraries are missing.
Examples might be a root FS that may have significantly reduced
content but enough to do FS restore operations, emergency repairs and
load kernel modules that will allow one to bring up rest of the system.
Basic functionality would include ability to mount file systems and
ideally format, manage partitions, and restore file systems from
backups.
Some utilites necessary to do such tasks are outside the scope of
util-linux, but at least the ability to mount/umount a file system,
fdisk and partition management. Could it be ensured that one can 'mount'
disks under adverse conditions, at the very least, so that umount.static
would make sense?
The command rename(1) provides a new command line option --interactive to ask
before overwriting.

How does rename compare with 'mmv'? I note that in the manpage "SEE
ALSO" section, 'mv' is listed, (not quite sure why?), but not a more
related tool
like 'mmv'.
