As a user and sysadmin, I've been waiting for this for a LONG time.
Standard NFS security/authentication sucks rocks. Without this NFS home
directory servers are just waiting to be ransacked by a rouge (or
compromised) root user on a client machine.
NFSv4 w/RPSEC_GSS is finally a native UNIX filesharing solution that I
don't have to be ashamed of when hanging with admins of those "other
OSes".
