I think the problem is that no one in the OpenSource world really
knows how to register new |WNNC_NET_*| keys. QEmu shared folders,
DOKANY, ms-nfs41-client, etc. all use |WNNC_NET_RDR2SAMPLE| because
the sample filesystem code uses that.
Also... there is the problem that many OpenSource projects do not have
funding/money, and if the registration costs money, then no one can do
that.

For ms-nfs41-client there is another "solution", the driver only uses
/nfs4/ subdir, so UNC paths usually look like
//derfwnb4966_ipv6linklocal AT 2049/nfs4/net_tmpfs2/test2
