But since we are bashing around about unnecessary default services, one
set of services that I would actually like to see removed is the NFS
stack (nfs, nfslock, portmap, ...). Arguably, a typical desktop OS with
a GUI has absolutely no need of networked file systems, especially as
obsolete as NFS. I've used Fedora for as long as it exists, and I've
never seen anyone actually use NFS in real life scenarios on a typical
desktop machine with a GUI. That's also got to be in the 99% of cases…
This only means your usage scenarios are very limited. Actually, all my
Linux systems have been using nfs ever since Linux supports it and ever
since I am running/administrating networks.
NFSv4.1 is a two year old spec? It's quite current.
Correct, nfs is far from being dead or obsolete.
It's just that home-users with a Win-history commonly are not familiar
with it and that using it takes a bit of a learning curve. Once it's set
up it's very convienient, fast, reliable and useful.
Getting rid of all the NFSv3 junk by default I think is valid.
This would mean to lock out many professional use-cases and restrict
Fedora-deployment to amateurish use-cases.
