Okay I guess I'm confused by this wording from the commit message in
d3635ff07e8:
Allow the user to use either '4.0' or '4' to enable or disable minor
version 0. Other minor versions are still enabled or disabled using the
'4.x' format.
Should rpc.nfsd be changed then? The way it is now, nfssvc_print_vers() will
write '+4' if you run 'rpc.nfsd -V4.0'...
