No worries! I can't even test it myself in the couple of weeks anyway.

That's good to hear, then there should be enough of time to get this into an alpha build before the first rc is around the corner.
Depending on your schedule it could even make it in the second alpha (if there is nothing major is missed).

So I would have to go through the options and check which we (don't) want to allow in the installer.
That would explain why some filesystems have less mount options listed than the kernel documents. Will look into it again, and maybe ask some persons who contributed the mount options for other filesystems.
