After further review of the actual /etc/nfs.conf interface... It's a bit incomplete.

There are flags you can set with the current interface but not with /etc/nfs.conf.
These holes are fixable but I think the best thing to do is keep the current
configuration in as the /etc/nfs.conf matures. Then figure out
a migration path or not? Maybe it makes senses to keep
both the upstream and Fedora way of configuring the NFS server?

Anyways... Thanks for all the input.... It was appreciated!
