I guess that we two are currently the only interested parties. I'm
sure we can agree on a solution without involing the FPC. An FPC
ticket means probably a month delay, and I don't think there's
anything controversial here.

Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998690#c3,
for some rationale for a -filesystem package.

I'll try to do some reviews of the remaining packages tomorrow. This
should help to finish this faster.
