I don't get it..it is not specifically mentioned as forbidden. So
it should work. 
What Ruslan meant (at least that is how I see it) is that
-o fstab is only mentioned in combination with -u. That is correct.
It still works with -a (without the -u), but specifying it is pointless
as its net effect is nill. So I would not update the manual page.
