Well I'm not sure. There's only one implementation I'm aware of that
accepts -n, the one in the Linux version of mount (i.e. the mount
program from util-linux package).

If we want to be more precise we could investigate, but I think it's
overkill. It doesn't hurt to be vague on this IMHO.

If you don't mind, I'd leave this with "some other" as initially
proposed by Jeremy.
