Look, I didn't write this part, and I'm not sure I even agree with it. Maybe my comment was stronger than intended. The take-away message is that I once wanted to change the mount_nfs(8) manpage, and now I don't feel there is a strong justification to do so based on what I've read. Please note that the patch I gave you *only* addresses the fact that the mount(8) manpage doesn't point users to the filesystem-specific manpages for filesystem-specific mount options. I still think that patch is right, but I'm just going to shut up for now and leave it up to you to decide its fate.
