This could be an argument _for_ doing it this way. As a sysadmin myself, this makes a lot of sense to me, and being able to catch it by looking in a 'mount' command is certainly a sweet proposal-- That way you can constantly monitor anything that needs extra capabilities very simply.
And if mount supported an argument to ONLY show capability remounts, there's a quick 'showcap' for you.
