Even if it weren't NFS on loopback -- say someone's got their cdroms
mounted and "shared" out -- or if they simply copied the contents of
their cdroms to day /mnt/mandrake/8.2/disc{1,2} and shared that out in
order to do a network install perhaps (although I've just copied
everything in RPMS2/ to RPMS/ before to do this). I can imagine using
this functionality quite a bit actually.
