pNFS puts the revocation into the protocol so the lease holder is prepared to get out of the way. This was the motivation for the original lease proposal to make it an explicit interface rather than implicit so it is required of the registrant to be prepared to get out of the way. Then the secondary discussion is what happens when the application does not respond to revocation, and we fallback to the "unpin mechanism of last resort".
