If that is the case, we would like to know what topics/items in the draft that you do support and which ones you do not believe are ready or that the WG will not be able to reach consensus on.  If there are steps that you think the working group should take towards clarity on any of those topics, the chairs are interested in hearing those too.

I find the document overwhelming for my simple brain.
In particular, I think dealing with ACLs/mode is a monster
that may be unsolvable, but at least deserves its own document.

I think Sec. 14-16, plus related parts of 17, 18 might make a
document of reasonable size/complexity.  RPC-with-TLS does
offer significant progress in this area.

And, I for one, cannot even imagine an NFSv5.
I also wonder why NFSv4.0 matters any longer?
