+The current implementation is intended for developers only: while it
+does support ordinary file operations on clients we have tested against
+(including the linux client), it is incomplete in ways which may limit
+features unexpectedly, cause known bugs in rare cases, or cause
+interoperability problems with future clients.  Known issues:
+
+	- gss support is questionable: currently mounts with kerberos
+	  from a linux client are possible, but we aren't really
+	  conformant with the spec (for example, we don't use kerberos
+	  on the backchannel correctly).
+	- no trunking support: no clients currently take advantage of
+	  trunking, but this is a mandatory failure, and its use is
+	  recommended to clients in a number of places.  (E.g. to ensure
+	  timely renewal in case an existing connection's retry timeouts
+	  have gotten too long; see section 8.3 of the draft.)
+	  Therefore, lack of this feature may cause future clients to
+	  fail.
+	- Incomplete backchannel support: incomplete backchannel gss
+	  support and no support for BACKCHANNEL_CTL mean that
+	  callbacks (hence delegations and layouts) may not be
+	  available and clients confused by the incomplete
+	  implementation may fail.
+	- Server reboot recovery is unsupported; if the server reboots,
+	  clients may fail.
+	- We do not support SSV, which provides security for shared
+	  client-server state (thus preventing unauthorized tampering
+	  with locks and opens, for example).  It is mandatory for
+	  servers to support this, though no clients use it yet.
+	- Mandatory operations which we do not support, such as
+	  DESTROY_CLIENTID, FREE_STATEID, SECINFO_NO_NAME, and
+	  TEST_STATEID, are not currently used by clients, but will be
+	  (and the spec recommends their uses in common cases), and
+	  clients should not be expected to know how to recover from the
+	  case where they are not supported.  This will eventually cause
+	  interoperability failures.
+
+In addition, some limitations are inherited from the current NFSv4
+implementation:
+
+	- Incomplete delegation enforcement: if a file is renamed or
+	  unlinked, a client holding a delegation may continue to
+	  indefinitely allow opens of the file under the old name.
