Can we just keep the old libnfs indefinitely? Are there any killer
features
for dependencies other than QEMU?
QEMU needs fixing to work with both old and new libnfs. Even if
Fedora pinned to old libnfs, we can be sure that sooner or later
the new libnfs will appear in other distros and thus will inevitably
need to deal with this incompatibility.
To answer a previous question, there's no hurry in switching to the new
libnfs 6, especially as all affected code will need to be patched to
acknowledge for the new API. However, it will indeed need to be fixed
sooner or later, I don't think upstream will maintain the old libnfs 5
branch.
