"name space" is fine, but "namespace" seems to be a common item of terminology.
 Should rpmlint be updated, or can we ignore this warning?

I'd like a special user and group for fedfs operation, although we could also
use the same one nfs-utils uses, which is "rpcuser" I believe.  Really, though,
this value needs to be specified via a ./configure option as well, to make it
easy for distributions to set it how they like.  I'm not familiar with the
rules around UID and GID usage.

What is suggested?

resolve-junction is going away in 0.8.0, which is why I didn't compose a man
page for it.  However, we could easily add a stub man page in 0.7, similar to
the man page for mount.nfs.

We could reduce it to just three:  one common noarch package, one for client
pieces, and one for everything else.
