In fact, the various patches applied to nfsiostat over the last few 
years were mainly cosmetic ones (changes in sysstat APIs, etc.)
So I propose now to simply remove nfsiostat code from sysstat: Next 
sysstat version will rename nfsiostat (eg. to nfsiostat-sysstat) and the 
man page will indicate it is now obsolete and point to the version from 
nfs-utils. Then nfsiostat will be definitively removed sometime before 
the end of this year.
