My reaction as well when I started to dive in...
Are you still going to redo the "strict" series?
With metacopy out of the picture, I can just reorder the patches
and drop the metacopy=on mentions.
Let me know if you want me to do that.

Me too.
We should do the same for nfs_export=on implies index=on.
There are probably more users that just want nfs_export=on
than users that know what index=on even means.
Let me know if you want me to do that.
