Unfortunately for these Ancient Astronauts-style theories about the 4.2BSD
file system and NFS, the future networked file system being referred to
there was NOT NFS.  First of all, I don't think a real design existed; it
was a wishlist item than a real future idea.  Second of all, what ideas did
exist may have latter appeared in NFS, but not without much change later.
