Hi, 
I classified it as cosmetical. See:

Last time I quickly looked over NFSv4 sources it seemed as if they did not 
authenticate users but hosts only. There is of course no gain in security 
compared to a classical VPN then. I'd appreciate if I were just outdated or 
wrong in this regard.

SFS also looks promising on a first glance, i should definitively check their 
papers. All those projects seem quite under-represented in print or 
online-media.

Best regards, Marcus
