Then we need to also teach autofs to start these services on demand. Having all 
the daemons on for the 1% of Linux users who use NFS (esp on things like 
laptops) is not the answer. We are moving more and more to a system where Linux 
adjusts dynamically to its environment (think NetworkManager, think device hot 
plugging, etc.)

Or rather not start it if it does not contain anything or does not exist, 
currently the script creates an empty /etc/exports if it does not exist to 
ensure that nfsd will start to serve no purpose what so ever (serving an emty 
/etc/exports is pretty useless), that really is the world upside down.
