If we're going to disclaim support for NFS, it would certainly be
better to do that clearly and with reasons than otherwise. However, I
suspect a substantial number of users will still use NFS and then
blame us when it doesn't work; or alternatively say that our software
sucks because it doesn't work on NFS. Neither of which are very nice
outcomes.
