This is true... we will be staying with the 1.0.9 base but will
add features as need. For example the recent SECINFO support 
will be in the 5.2 update release (thank you Frank Filz for all
the help on this)

On very nice side effect of doing the Pseudo root in user land
is it can easily be back ported to RHEL5, which I would be
all for.. assuming I can get those patches working with some
recent changes to the mainline nfs-utils... which has proved  
to be a bit difficult :-\

Yes, we are more than will consider any and all suggestions on
any and all features... As long as they don't change the Kernel
ABI (kABI) we can talk about it... Plus I'm a firm believer in
bribery... a well place bottle of scotch will always help the
process.. ;-) (just kidding)
