Well, there still is the issue of fsck and mount potentially handling
backslash-style quoting differently in various different fields; there
is a bug hiding there, although it's probably lower priority given
that the supported answer is to use LABEL= or UUID=.
As far as the fstab manual page, it's more than just ext2/ext3/ext4
and xfs; it's any filesystem for which there is support in the blkid
library for handling labels. We probably shouldn't use an explicit in
fstab, since it will go out of date quite quickly. (At the time of
this writing, we support LABEL= handling for the following filesystems
types: ntfs, reiserfs, resierfs4, jfs, romfs, cramfs, swap, iso9660,
ocfs, ocfs2, gfs, gfs2, hfsplus, btrfs). So saying that it works on
most filesystems that define a label is a pretty fair statement.
