FWIW, I asked a while back upstream about it, and they would be open
to change this.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/Y1KoKwu88PulcokW@eldamar.lan/
and
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/166656275785.12462.14027406790454668194@noble.neil.brown.name/
But it needs someone who is implementing the change and submits it
upstream. Michael, would you be able to work on this and submit the
change upstream? Once accepted there we can happily cherry pick it for
us.
We should not diverge to much from upstream at this point, this was
exactly one of the problems that nfs-utils remained for ages at an
ancient 1.3.4 based version. Now we have reduced the delta massively,
which helps keeping on track with upstream versions.
