It's true, but I don't like the idea of NFS on my network.  I have used
it for network boot, but it required no root squash in that scenario and
it made me uncomfortable.  For network boot I managed to replace it with
NBD instead which exports a single "filesystem file" from the server,
can do so as an unprivileged user, and is anyway faster.  I don't mind
having to fiddle with a webserver instead of having NFS.
