Fortunately Michael Brookhuis <Michael.Brookhuis at suse.com>
is a colleague at work so that I could do all GitHub stuff.

In contrast what I cannot do with reasonable effort is
implementing the required changes/addons for NFSv4 support
as needed in Michael Brookhuis' paricular environment
(or for a paricular customer's environment)
because I am not in such an environment.

I think the overall result is best when each one
only needs to do what each one can do best.

Michael Brookhuis,
when you provide me diffs for the required changes/addons
for NFSv4 support as needed in your paricular case
then I can do all the rest.

To have it properly tracked I created
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/754

Let's do all futher communication via

Kind Regards
Johannes Meixner
