check_disk and NFS timeouts

Hi,
When will the official Nagios plugins release channel include the patch to properly timeout when NFS (for example, other remote filesystems may also be applicable) is unavailable?
There was a patch I found, some time ago. It's this one:
https://nagios-plugins.org/archive/deve ... 09137.html
This seems like a dead obvious, useful and probably mandatory change.
Without it, we have (as do no doubt many others out there) plugin processes climb through the roof and push the load avg. of a machine up if there's any sort of NFS/network outage. This must break a presumably fundamental law of "thy monitoring system should not impact thy machine"
My apologies if it is already in, or if this is an FAQ but I've reviewed the 2.0 Change Log and can see no mention of it.
