I think having tools only parse one is a feature not a bug.  Systemd does 
things differently and I think it would be good to be able to say "this is 
only for systemd".  I've been trying to get the TPM support for Crypttab 
going, but so far it's only giving me warning messages from cryptsetup because 
it doesn't accept the parameters that systemd needs.
