When NFS filesytems are mounted, nfs-client.target really should be enabled. However it is possible to mount NFS filesystems without this (providing gss isn't used) and it mostly works. One aspect that doesn't work is that sm-notify isn't run, so the server isn't told to drop any locks from the previous client instance. This can result in confusing failures: if a client crashes while holding a lock, it won't be able to get the same lock after a reboot. While this isn't a complete solution (nfs-client really should be enabled), adding a dependency from rpc-statd to rpc-statd-notify is easy, has no down sides, and could help avoid confusion.
