20.04's coreutils still has the behavior described in this bug.  /dev is
listed as type 'udev' by df but df -x udev does not exclude it; df -x
devtmpfs does.

I wonder if one way to at least resolve the confusion might be to make
the code that prints the table display devtmpfs devices as 'devtmpfs'.
An obvious alternative would be to make '-x udev' be handled like '-x
udev -x devtmpfs'.  Another alternative would be to overload '-x tmpfs'
to exclude also udev and devtmpfs.  It's not clear what the best
solution would be.
