As a user, that para in the news makes me ask "how does this affect
me?". I have to go read man pages and init scripts to find out.

Perhaps this:

Also, we are dropping the use of the -O switch for mount/umount -a,
because it is util-linux specific and not compatible with busybox. This
only affects mounts with "_netdev" listed under options in /etc/fstab.
Such systems should use "noauto" and/or "nofail" as described above.
