We do, temporarily. It is NOT recommended :-) because:
- can't update your NFS server without shutting down all VMs
- myriad of other reasons

Still I did a reboot of our NFS server to update all nodes/engine from 
3.2.2 to 3.3.2. How?
Made a script which did a virsh suspend VM which freezes all I/O and 
then ran yum update/reboot on the NFS server. It worked but its not good 
for your stress levels.
