(What do other OS's do?) --min-version and --max-version are indeed more in line with the RPC model: the PROG_MISMATCH error offers a single range of supported versions, and was never designed to say that you are offering NFSv2 and v4, but not NFSv3. That said, we have already added the -N option to rpc.mountd, so if we fix rpc.nfsd, then we should also fix rpc.mountd.
