Because it is a lot of work which is currently not needed and where I will
need to participate.

We are already low on the free bits in the flags, even after expanding

to 64bit.  More, there are useful common fs services continuously 
consuming

that flags, e.g. the recent NFS TLS options.

I object against using the flags for absolutely not important things, 
like

this nullfs "cache" option.

In long term, we would have to export nmount(2) strings since bits in
flags are finite, but I prefer to delay it as much as possible.


Why do you want to delay this? Personal priorities, or technical 
reasons?


Bye,
