It is not in fact “already solved”, and I'm frankly disgusted at the amount of energy being spent on bikeshedding this after the fact compared with the complete lack of interest in the problem prior to my commit. Not everybody runs GENERIC. Practically nobody uses NIS. Something needs to ensure that krpc is loaded when rpcbind starts in nearly 100% of rpcbind use cases. My original choice was a small change to the rc script, but Rick insisted on doing it directly in rpcbind instead, although he now conveniently washes his hands of it. Konstantin, I don't care how you solve this, but I need NFS to work, and I don't ever want to see “netlink: could not create service” on my console again.
