Subject: NFSv4 fsid=0 export still necessary?

Hi folks,
several NFSv4-HOWTOs in the net require to export a root directory
with fsid=0 first. Other exported directory trees should be nested
within this root directory and exported with nohide. AFAIU the advan-
tage of the root dir is that the client can mount "server:/somedir"
instead of "server:/remote_mount_point/somedir".
Question: Is the common root directory optional? Since NFSv3 doesn't
support this name space feature, wouldn't it be more wise to omit
the root directory?
Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated
Harri
