I can understand part of the reason for this... 4.0-RELEASE is right
arround the corner, and people are focusing on delivering a stable product,
not introducing alpha code into the system at the last second.  the current
rpc.lockd is a known value, placing a "maybe" version into the stream at
this point would do no one any good.

Again, I feel that this isn't woth it at this point... it should be something
we strive for in 4.1-RELEASE.

Mmmm.... feedback would be very good.  Also, what are the chanches of
getting the 3 required functions MFC-ed?  fh{open|stat|statfs} ?
