NFS is quite different to other filesystems.  Your files are on other 
systems, for example, which may or may not support security labeling.

So, we enable this feature, and virtually all existing mounts break 
because the servers do not support labeling.

It needs to be the other way around.  This is a new feature, so the 
default needs to be the existing behavior, with security labeling as an 
option to enable at mount time.
