After further review... by a number of people, its been decided
the /etc/nfsmount.conf file will be installed with the default

with older Linux servers but make it very easy to make v4
the default version. A nice compromise, IMHO...
Note, with nfsmount.conf file one can configure mount options
per mount point, per server and globally (which is how the default
version will be set). See the nfsmount.conf(5) for details. So
I strongly urge you try the v4 protocol by setting the version
to v4 in one of those sections...
The new nfs-utils rpm will be ready shortly...
My apoloizes for all the excitement... It was truly unintended
and unexpected... :-\
Steve,
One thing you could do to spread the knowledge about NFSv4
capabilities would be to write a bit in the Release Notes beat that
covers NFS, encouraging people to try the setting in appropriate
environments:

(There may be another place to put this information -- consult with
the Docs team at #fedora-docs for more information.)
