I don't believe it was ever escalated as a blocker. I probably didn't
consider promoting it as one at the time as FUSE isn't used for any
normal native Linux mount. Probably the most common use of FUSE is for
mounting NTFS partitions via ntfs-3g, but I'm not sure that's vital /
common enough to block a release.
