As has been pointed[1] out[2], this will cause regressions for non-LFS
applications (of which there are still lots and lots). This change
should be in feature-removal (the "feature" being removed is legacy
support for non-LFS applications using NFS servers that make full use
of the protocol) and preferably accompanied with appropriate user space
changes (e.g. compatibility option in glibc).
