[rhelv6-list] why are there still remnants of NFSv1 references in RHEL 6.5?

   currently reading RHEL 6.5 "storage administration guide", the
chapter on NFS, and it reads:

"Currently, there are three versions of NFS. NFS version 2 (NFSv2)
is older and widely supported..." and goes on to mention NFSv3 and
NFSv4, of course.

   in addition, /etc/sysconfig/nfs mentions only the earlier versions
NFSv2 and NFSv3, but the /etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs startup script
contains the snippet:

         case $MOUNTD_NFS_V1 in
         no|NO)
             RPCMOUNTDOPTS="$RPCMOUNTDOPTS --no-nfs-version 1" ;;
         esac

surely this test is obsolete by now. or is it? if it's still
valid in some way, should it not be documented?
