Comment # 3 on bug 911986 from Neil Brown

It is definitely planned for nfs-utils to use proper systemd unit files in
SLE12-SP1, much like what is currently in Base:System.

home:neilbrown:branches:SUSE:SLE-12-SP1:GA/nfs-utils

has a preliminary package - still needs proper testing.

See bug 876860 and fate 317845

It isn't clear to me what yast2-nfs-client would be affected by this change.
If it just uses 'rcnfs' and 'rcnfsserver' to start/stop daemons, everything
should just continue to work.

There might be an issue if /etc/sysctl values are edited.  In that case the
'nfsd' module would need to be added to /etc/modules-load.d/ as we need to rely
on systemd to set that up in the right order.
