Not a problem... I want to and will work closely with FESCo to make
sure we know all the ins and outs of this change... believe me my
slate is cleared for few weeks to be as responsive as possible 
for this new feature... In the end this will be a good thing... 

And I do apology for (unwittingly)  spring this on everyone in such an 
unexpected way... But again, truly truly truly thought I was just 
following the development cycle that was laid out on the
fedora-devel-announce list.. 

With all that said... Back to your point... What type of testing is done
today on NFS and other File systems? Unfortunately I can not comment on
a process I don't know about?
