Yeah, it is. My suggestion is to wait 24 hours for someone on this list 
more knowledgeable than I (which is just about anyone) to speak up, and if 
no one does then please file the PR, and forward me a copy of the notice 
after the number is assigned. I'll then poke around for some NIS-aware 
folks to review further before we commit it.

BTW, since this is a non-trivial change, and since I'm not familiar with 
NIS, I'm not anticipating getting this in before the 7.0 or 6.3 -RELEASEs. 
I would rather get some review for it now, and put it in HEAD for a while. 
Then I'll MFC it after the releases.
