Looking at the commit, the removed options had been showing kernel warnings for the deprecation period. In the rest of the file, usebackuproot and nologreplay are on the way out as well.

It looks like these were intended as rescue options, whereas what systemd wants is something that will make sure images and block devices stay immutable. Wasn't there work to enforce that at the block layer recently?
