The other thing to note is that at this point, NFSv2 has been legacy
code for more than 10 years on Linux and is starting to suffer big time
from bit rot. We should probably aim to remove it entirely in the next
1-2 years. There is no place in today's world for a protocol that can
only deal with a 2GB maximum file size...
