+Basically we used to "fake" the mount state with a file in /etc/mtab.
+This is now a symlink to /proc/mounts which, IMO is much safer. This is
+why the "mount" output has gotten bigger.
+
+As for rootfs staying mounted, I believe this is in some way due to the
+ability to re-enter the initrd on shutdown/reboot. This allows for nice
+things such as unmounting / and shutting down lvm properly before
+poweroff/reboot which was not possible before. So IMO this is an
+improvement, albeit I agree it's a bit ugly.
+
+If it's not that, then it's maybe to do with the /dev mount which must
+be preserved between initrd and proper / in order to transfer important
+udev metadata.
