Digging thru my email archive it seems that the reason for that was to
deal with really old kernels that understood +4/-4 but not +4.0/-4.0.
Since old kernels obviously won't have a netlink interface for nfsd it
seems we can drop this quirk at least.

It seems to me main alternatives are 

1. Drop the special handling for v4.0 but allow +4/-4 to always
enable/disable all minor versions, including v4.0.  So a small
adjustment to this patch.

2. Require the minor versions to be explicitly specified for v4.  So allow
+2/-2/+3/-3, but emit an error if +4/-4 is specified.  Maybe emit an error
if +2.0/-2.0/+3.0/-3.0 is specified.

3. Leave the code alone (so +4/-4 would be interpreted as +4.0/-4.1) and
just update the man page.

4. Make the 'nfsdctl version' behavior consistent with the nfs.conf option
handling in 'nfsdctl autostart'.  Currently thats:

        * vers4=y turns on all minor versions.  vers4.x=n on top of that
          will turn off those specific minor versions.
        * vers4=n turns off all minor versions.  vers4.x=y on top of
          that has no effect.

I don't really have a strong preference as long as the behavior matches
whatever the man page says it is.  If I had to vote I'd just say go with
option 3, but if it's important for the behaviors of the different
subcommands to be consistent, then we really don't have a choice and
have to go with option 4.
