Yes I am very concern systemd will effect how NFS started, shutdown,
managed, and configured... Because at the end of the day, when all
hell breaks lose, your name will not those bz and your reputation
will on the line...

My concerns are will documented the bz:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699040
But in a nut shell:
* There is no way to conditionally start and stop services/daemons
using a configuration variable.
* There is no way to conditionally start and stop services
within as service.
* The variables read out of the EnvironmentFile are *always*
character strings which means set LOCKD_TCPPORT=234 is
no longer possible. Losing that ability to set variable to
integer values seem to like a giant step backwards.
* Being able to set a number of different config variables
that will automatically build a valid command line to a
given daemon.
Granted, these issues will not effect the stability of the actual
daemon code, but they will destroy the "easy-of-use" factor.
My admins have to tweak one file and start (or restart) the
service and BOOM everything just works... Its a two step
process that has mature in time that has become fairly seamless
and straightforward. This is what I'm concern that systemd
will destroy.
