Don't blame users for not reading random blogs and random wikis.
For various values of the term 'user' depending on their experience and sophistication, my response is .. BAH HUMBUG! OK, so I'm a few weeks early with the Scrooge channelling. But you can use Google any time of the year. Man pages are just man pages. Great for the command syntax and what the various fields are. Many don't have examples. You want to know how things work, how to "just do it", to coin a phrase, then Go Google" and find the how-to articles, the developers blogs and wikis and the write-ups from the people who have experimented. I've got development time and sysadmin time under my belt, but but I found this by a "go google" and one of the articles I found from an experimenter who poured over the man ages in great detail did say that it was there and LO! it was when I looked, but I'd already got it working from reading a Wiki. I suppose in in that class of user that does "go google".
Changing syntax of such fundamental config files like fstab should have been mentioned in ReleaseNotes. There is a note about encrypted partitions. Why not about nfs?
Encrypted partitions under SystemD? Oh my! So the release notes has sophisticated stuff like that, how to rename files, but not basics like NFS mounting. Yes, I'd like to have everything managed by YAST but until the system is either sysvinit OR systemD and not a blend of the two I think that's going to be horrendous. After all, you could ignore the stuff about systemd.mount/nfs and use the automounter maps with a SystemD system. In fact you can use the automounter AS WELL but things will be a buqqer to debug if you get something in conflict. Perhaps a more sensible approach would be to give up entirely on the sysvinit compatibility, remove the /etc/rc[12345].d compatibility, remove the automounter and make it PURE SystemD. Throw 12.1 in the deep end.
