 I understand what You are talking about.
 
 But, Your patch causes mount to ignore during system boot options 'userquota' and 'groupquota'.
 I think, it's a bit senselessly to modify the system with your patch, I can do the same simply by putting in '/etc/fstab' options 'rw,noatime'. 
 
 Secondly in the man for 'fstab' these two options are clearly described how to use them in the context of the 'fstab' file and what they indicate. If these two options in Freebsd 8.0 were supposed to be withdrawn, I beleive that there would be any information about it. 
 
 So if there is no information about it, and the options are still in man in FreeBSD 8.0, putting this options in 'fstab' file should behave the same as in older versions of Freebsd system.
 
 For this reason I am daring to claim, that it is a bug in the FreeBSD 8.0.
