No, that's not what he's saying.  Even if you define a different psuedo
root other than /, it's likely more common to /not/ want that root
exported in whole, but rather smaller parts of it, just like you don't
want / exported in whole, you only want subdirectories exported.

I too see this as a major regression in NFS behavior.
