Am I the only one who thinks that the privileged port requirement (that 
can be disabled on a per-export basis with -noresvport) is just a 
little silly in this day and age?

I would really like to make -noresvport the default, and maybe add a 
-resvport option for people who are under the false impression that the 
privileged port requirement actually buys them extra security.

Thoughts?
