There's always a balance that the release engineering team has to strike between features that some users might want to have in the default installation and the features that some people might want to keep turned off. Having NFSCLIENT in the GENERIC kernels minimizes the steps one has to go through in order to use a recently installed machine as an NFS client. I'd like to see this stay in the installation kernel as long as possible. Would a workaround like this be ok for you Joe? - If the user explicitly disables NFS during installation add this to the installed /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.nfs.iodmin=0
