I don't quite understand your logic. It seems to me that you're suggesting the option hasn't been added for anyone to use, simply due to the existance of NFS... What about the people not using NFS, ie the majority? What about the people using NFS, that are aware of the issues of network file systems but want it configured this way anyway? As a solution to preventing the accidental creation of mailboxes on the local disk, why not mount a read only partition underneath the nfs mount, or set up restrictive filesystem permissions?
