It was certainly the case that a lot of *Apple engineers* used NFS-mounted home 
directories, at least in the early days of Mac OS X. (I was an engineer at 
Apple at the time.) This made any problems with that configuration very 
prominent when testing the OS. I’ve never seen network home directories in the 
wild, but I believe it may be used in educational settings for centralized 
administration.

Anyway, it’s very unlikely that any *iOS* apps are accessing SQLite databases 
over NFS, considering that they aren’t allowed to access files outside their 
sandbox. :) So may I request taking out this #warn directive?

Thanks,
