There is definitely a class of user (networking devices) where nis/yp are still 
being used.  I would love to see NIS support be a distro feature or similar 
configure time element.

-after- the upcoming release, I think we should pursue these patches, assuming 
we can get the NIS support enabled in some way.

BTW my only other question was the busybox side.  I'm a bit confused by the 
comment.  I thought the mount_nfs was still required because it enabled the 
proper binding argument for the mount syscall.  While I don't believe we need to 
still support the older kernel(s), we definitely need NFS mounts to work in busybox.
