But the problem with this is that we skip operations in between,  
which breaks the order of the operations given in the RFC i.e. the
linear order
in which the statistics are captured in the NFSv4 server.
Just want to know why this was done when capturing the count for an
extra
procedure does not require much extra effort, going by the existing
code and 
actually causes a break in the list of operation numbers.

It would be great if someone can answer this too.
