Yes, this is the root of the issue - if we're changing what we're doing
with portmappers what's the plan for managing this.  What should be the
default, is the old portmap going away and so on.  At the minute there's
been no coordination at all, the first time I heard of rpcbind was when
I was resolving the NFS breakage.
