You explained it to me in a private conversation, although
there was a lot of "I don't know yet" in that discussion.

It needs to be (re)explained in a public forum because
reviewers keep bringing this question up.

I hope to see more than just "NFSv3 is in the mix". There
needs to be some explanation of why it is necessary to
support NFSv3 without the use of pNFS flexfile.
