No news.  The question remains, what the cost may be to other NFS users.
Certainly NFS v4.1 is not a minor change, and it adds a lot of new code
to the nfs module.

I had a look at what RH is doing with this and noticed that in RHEL 6
they only enabled it for x86_64.  This does suggest that it may be too
expensive for smaller systems, but maybe it's just a random choice.

Ben.
