Yeah, other mount helpers would benefit from that too. One can't just change the semantics for current helpers though so one would need a directory where helpers with new sematics can be installed. Upstream is not opposed to this idea IIRC. There just is noone pushing an actual implementation.
Last year I suggested a different mount helper name convention, e.g. /sbin/mount_<FS> (which is not really ok because it interferes with other OSes which do use '_' as [u]mount the '.'). I'm afraid a new directory would complicate things. Perhaps something like /sbin/root_mount.<FS>, /sbin/rmount.<FS>, /sbin/privileged_mount.<FS>, /sbin/prvmount.<FS>, ....?
There are also efforts from the kernel side to allow pure user mounts without privileges.
