It can probably be removed.  It's kind of handy to keep around as long as 8.x
is around since it uses oldNFS by default as it makes merging bugfixes to the 
NFS client a bit easier (you fix both clients in HEAD and can then just svn
merge both of those to 8 and 9).  Having several fixes to the NFS client 
recently and being in a position of still using 8.x with oldNFS in production, 
I would prefer to not remove it quite yet.
