So, while this sort of footgun previously required holding chown insanely wrong, it's now built into an innocent little tool that pretended to be *safer* than others.

@nik @daandemeyer @pid_eins this is an interesting discussion here, and I share niks concerns. Particularly on the Ubuntu side this change happens in the LTS cycle which is ill aligned, so I've asked for the feature to be disabled for now at least. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/2132177

@daandemeyer @pid_eins And here we go: Users who didn't get the basics of what a mount point is thinking --empower were a magic trick to fix their permission problems. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2025-December/051778.html (I don't blame the user for their lack of basic Linux knowledge; I blame run0 for giving them a footgun.)
