Do you still maintain the FAQ at nfs.sourceforge.net?

In A7:

	"There are some minor interoperability issues when applications
	running on clients make use of some of the new features of NFS
	Version 4 such as mandatory locking, share reservations, and
	delegations."

I'd remove "delegations"--they change the performance (most dramatically
if the server has to wait for a lease to time out to allow an open), but
should otherwise be transparent to applications.

The

	NFS-related kernel patches supported by Trond Myklebust
	NFS-related kernel patches supported by Neil Brown 

links should probably just be removed and replaced by a "linux
development" link to linux-nfs.org.
