(In times past, I would have hoped that breaking real use cases could be fixed on a case-by-case basis by raising a bug and fixing the software, but in the current environment I just bet some people would say "Linux is not about choice" and demand that users stop using mount points in ways that break their software instead: after all, their laptop has only one big mount under / so your system should too. It seems best to me to try to stop this sort of thing from happening in the first place.)
