As the one who suggested that, I'll elaborate slightly: klibc's
nfsmount only supports nfs v2 and v3 (true in git as of this writing),
and initramfs-tools uses that; cf. Debian bug #409271. Dracut does
appear to support root on nfsv4 (see dracut-cmdline(7)) but is not
currently installable in Ubuntu.
