If so, and since that's obviously what people _expect_ to happen, why not
make that the default, with the "consistent" behaviour being the one that
needs an explicit option.

Just out of curiosity - Hua, is this NFSv2? Especially there, cache
"consistency" is largely a joke anyway, so defaulting to some annoying
careful mode is doubly ridiculous.
