There's the "that won't scale" problem with NFS, that things mayn't work
out happily if you try to export a single filesystem via NFS to 1000
other hosts.

I'd be disinclined to solve the "NFS problem" because of this...  Disk
space tends to be cheap enough (particularly since you can't get small
disks any more!) that using a "copy:" target to draw the master policy
from a cfservd server seems *way* more satisfactory to me.  Not least of
the reasons including that this makes it resilient against *any* kind of
failure of NFS.
