We are still very committed to our sparse file support draft 
(http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-hildebrand-nfsv4-read-sparse-00.txt) and 
strongly believe it should be included in NFSv4.2.  My impression from 
the 3 IETF meetings we presented it at is that there is strong support.  
Also, it fits both desires/requirements perfectly, 1. virtualization 
improvement, 2. small, targeted, and reviewable.
