Maybe. But for now it would be just another dependency, it's the new
gnome-vfs without gnome in the name ;-).
It will become interesting when they integrate it into GLib/GTK but as
they noted at [1] this won't happen soon. Even if, there is still the
problem many users won't use the bleeding edge versions of GLib/GTK.
And I really don't want to add an additional dependency for such a
library as long as fuse and lufs exist.

Anyway, thanks for the pointer.
