I agree. But then why was libfreebsd merged into glibc?

Which functions are you referring to? getvfsbyname and getosreldate
are not related to NFS (and getosreldate() is used in many places, I even
had to implement a replacement in GRUB).

Which functions should be removed/disabled? We have:
Two userland functions (not NFS specific):
getosreldate
getvfsbyname
Two syscall stubs:
nfssvc
nlm_syscall
