It might make sense if we were to fix up the granularity of the recovery routines so that we are able to recover all the state associated with just a single open owner or lock owner. Currently we'd have to recover all the state associated with that server. IOW: we might be able to fix things up in the future, but right now, NFSv4+soft is not a good idea.
