I've used NFSv4 krb5 and krb5i on FC3 and I'd imagine there is no
regression with FC4.
The pieces that need work are:
* more stability
* keyring support working fully between userland the kernel to allow for
on demand ticket destruction
There are still quite a few patches being posted for NFSv4 and bits of
missing functionality like showmountv4 and the afore mentioned keyring
support (right now kdestroy doesn't un-authenticate NFS access).
A stable deployment might be had faster with NFSv3 + GSSAPI/Kerberos.
There has been some talk about it.
