No offense, but well, if "important things in the desktop start
requiring fuse" I suppose people programming that stuff first make sure
it's safe and wise to use fuse, as it might backfire to their apps if
fuse is unsafe.
I had no idea that Fedora was doing this to its fuse packaging when
designing gvfs. I've looked into fuse a bit, and it seemed safe to me.
It's likely nothing more then asking the Fedora developers
"can we get
rid of the add-to-a-specific-group stuff for fuse over the next few
months? I want to use fuse for important things in the desktop" *before*
starting to really depend on fuse.
Yeah.
