The release candidate of util-linux-ng 2.14 is now available from
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/v2.14/. It contains the
new feature.

I have to point out Karel Zak, the maintainer of util-linux-ng, as a nice
surprise. I am used to benevolent dictators/steering committee members being
somewhat on the rough side from many major FOSS projects, and sending a
patch to a major component in Linux and getting a "good work" in reply is
definitely a welcome change.
