NFS is increasingly becoming an access protocol, to speak to $whatever through some sort of proxy/gateway. $whatever might be Gluster (for which I'm still a maintainer), Ceph, EFS, etc. It's nice because clients are everywhere, they're maintained by someone else, and you can update your own stuff as much as you like without landing in the swamp of updating client software. The people who do maintain those clients - I know a few - deserve our thanks.
