If someone ever _does_ decide to jump through those hoops [1], this
delta can simply be backed out.

Ciao,
Sheldon.

[1] One possible set of hoops suggested by wollman is to load kernel
    support for every filesystem type that mount(8) attempts to mount.
    Then the vfc_flags of the filesystem type can be inspected for the
    presence of the VFCF_NETWORK flag.  If the flag exists, skip the
    filesystem (and all others of that type) and unload kernel support.

    I don't like this approach. :-)
