I'm in great favor of autoconfiguration.  Anything that will make NFS 
"just work" is goodness, in my book.

Well, that change went into nfs-utils in May of 2007, only 3 months ago. 
  Depending on when nfs-utils-1.1.0 got into Fedora 7, I don't think the 
change has had wide exposure quite yet.

Considering there hasn't been much "hue and cry" about "bg" not working 
in Fedora, however, that may not be much of a standard by which to 
measure customer dissatisfaction.
