NFSv4 only initially (but NFS3 support just added on master).  The I/O model is 
simplified.  Objects in RGW cannot be mutated in place, and the NFS client 
always overwrites.  Clients are currently expected to write sequentually from 
offset 0--on Linux, you should mount with -osync.

The RGW/S3 namespace is an emulation of a posix one using substring search, so 
we impose some limitations.  You cannot move directories, is one.  There are 
likely be published limits on bucket/object listing.

Some bugfixes are still in backport to Jewel.  That release supports NFSv4 and 
not NFS3.

Some features are still being backported to Jewel.  I've submitted one 
important bugfix on master this week.  We are aiming for "general usability" in 
over the next 1-2 months (NFSv4).

If you're conservative, it's probably not "ready."  Now would be a good time to 
experiment with the feature and see whether it is potentially useful to you.
