It would be nice if there was dependency support between services.
nfs or ypbind or other RPC server would depend on portmap. The ideal
would be portmap always started before the services that needed it
even when doing "/etc/init.d/nfs start". Less ideal would be for
chkconfig to enable portmap when a service that required it was
enabled.
That doesn't help
mount server:/path/to/export /local/place
which is pretty common to expect to work[1]

[1] I still see semi-regular bug reports/questions about the need to use
-o nolock when mounting nfs from the chroot in %post with kickstart. :-/
I really don't want to see the questions then also for _all_ cases of
doing NFS mounts.
