NFS Locking Issue

This last week I had been working on a test network to test out 6.1 prior to upgrading our production boxes from 5.4. That's when I ran across the rpc.lockd issues that have been discussed earlier.
Our production setup has diskless clients running KDE, which due to this bug is now dead on 6.1. I also have my mail server delivering messages to a file server via NFS. I even have servers booting diskless with NFS provided file systems... all of which are dead on 6.1.
The last discussion our bug updates I've seen on this issue were about 3 months ago. This leaves me with a number of questions I hope can be answered here on this list.
Is NFS a big deal for most other users, or am I out here on the fringe using it as much as I do?
Is anyone working on a fix for this? If so, is there any kind of time frame where this fix might be MFC'd to 6-STABLE?
I guess I'm still just a bit stunned that a bug this obvious not only found it's way into the STABLE branch, but is still there. Maybe it's not as obvious as I think, or not many folks are using it? All I know for sure here is that if I had upgraded to 6.1 my network would have been crippled.
Later on,
