Yeah, they should just ignore it.

While this is still experimental it's still nice to have a way to turn
this on and off at runtime so people can experiment without having to
have it on for everyone all the time.  But nfsd_supported_minorversion
should be sufficient for that.

(I don't think your patches actually dealt yet with the fact that this
is part of minor version 2?  Another for the todo list.)
