A few years ago, SGI tried to promote "NFS3 XATTR", an extension to
NFSv3 to add xattr support. It roughly added 3 functions to the protocol
(GETXATTR, SETXATTR, LISTXATTR), in a similar way as what 9p.2000L does.
Nothing but IRIX had this NFSv3 feature. As far as I know, it remained
quite exotic and stayed a SGI's thing.

Can you restate reasoning why it will never do so, and whether this is the same as saying it will never implement named attributes?
Thanks,

No. We will never support xattrs over NFS.

Subject: xattr support in NFS?
Does Linux support xattr in NFS?
IF tries using it in both NFS3 and NFS4 under Debian Lenny (2.6.32,
both
server and client), without success.
# setfattr -n user.comment -v "this is a comment" /mnt/nfs
setfattr: /mnt/nfs: Operation not supported
