NewNFS vs. oldNFS for 10.0?

Hi Rick, all,

is there a plan to decide for one NFS implementation for FreeBSD 10.0,
or to keep both around indefinately?

I'm talking about:
  oldNFS in sys/{nfs, nfsclient, nfsserver}     NFSv2+NFSv3
  newNFS in sys/fs/{nfs, nfsclient, nfsserver}  NFSv2+NFSv3+NFSv4

NewNFS supports newer NFS standards and seems to have proven itself in
some quite heavy traffic environments.

Is there any reason to keep oldNFS around other than nostalgic?
