At first I thought this last response of yours was silly, but I think
you're right -- a more helpful commit log would help one day when
the next hacker who asks "but why" wants to fix the problem.

I've done a forced commit to provide the background.

FWIW, I plan to resolve the NFS kernel support issues in mount_nfs and
then teach /etc/rc to delay mounting of remote filesystems until the
network is initialized.

I realize this doesn't seem pure, but it beats the crap out of the
ugliness involved in teaching mount the distinction between remote and
local filesystem types.

I doubt I'll get this done in time for 4.5-RELEASE, so I'd _really_ like
someone to give me a thumbs up on my band-aid patch sent to freebsd-audit
in Message-ID: <5062.1008868549@axl.seasidesoftware.co.za>. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
