Ok but this is not about NFS but about any FS that can be accessed over
network.
I am not seeing any danger with NFS especially for /usr or some volatile
data storage used by several systems.
NFS is one of Linux base features and I am glad I found understanding of
it's importance from Devuan developers together with mountable /usr over
NFS.

As I understood, when someone says about NFS usage, most people get
thinking that the one is going to expose it in internet to any host.
