Kerberos doesn't solve exactly the problem that subtree checking
attempts to solve. My attempt at a concise way of putting this (maybe you
can think of a better way):
Use Kerberos and/or NFSv4 when they become available: it may
still be possible for a user of NFS over Kerberos to
access files outside of the exported subtree. However,
it should not be possible for them to fake their identity,
so they should not be able to read files that they do
not have permissions to.
