I suspect many of these people read the line

	Use the leasing extensions to the NFS Version 3 protocol to main-
	tain cache consistency.

and decided that NQNFS was a useful extension to NFSv3 when in fact
it is a different protocol that is based on v2.

I think NQNFS might offer a stronger cache coherency than is provided
by NFSv3 - I'm not sure of the details, but I guess it's possible
that people are also using it for this reason.
