Well, thats a somewhat spurious argument. 4.0-R *does* demonstrably fix a
lot of NFS bugs, so there's a chance that by using the old, buggy code
you'll one day run into problems with your NFS server which you'll spend
all your time trying to fix and never get any real work done. Or perhaps
it will just silently trash your data :-) It's the nature of an active
software project that things often get better if you use a newer version
:-)

I don't know about this. Try talking to Alfred Perlstein
(alfred@freebsd.org) or Matt Dillon (dillon@freebsd.org) who are two
people who know the NFS code well.
