It has to be portable for an Administrator. NFS rsize and wsize should
not depend on a machine's page size.

Otherwise you cannot have such entries in /etc/fstab, instead an
Administrator has to rely on /usr/bin/pagesize, /bin/bc and manual
mount script just to pass the rsize+wsize in a portable manner. 100%
not compatible to puppet and common cluster software, and even less
portable for people using nfsroot.
