I think that's a good idea. I'd remove it from current but not stable.
When sysads eventually upgrade from stable to current they'll have a
lot to do anyway, it would not be an undue burden to anyone actually
using this syntax (I can't imagine there would be very many) to change
as long as mount_nfs and umount give the appropriate fatal error message.
The message could then be removed following the first or second 4.x
release.
