We already have the scheme that shuts down connections on inactive RPC clients after a suitable timeout period, so the only gains I can see would have to involve shutting down connections on active clients. At that point, the danger isn't with NFSv4.1, it is rather with NFSv2/3/4.0... Specifically, their lack of good replay cache semantics mean that you have to be very careful about schemes that involve shutting down connections on active RPC clients.
