Can't agree more. I don't want to release my fuse-based SMB-connector (smb kioslave/gnome-vfs replacement :-) for exactly this reason - having released some projects earlier , I can't afford (in terms of time) to answer emails asking how to install fuse , where to grab it and which version, how to build etc, so I'm eagerly awaiting when fuse will be merged and I could point to kernel.org and required kernel version... Right now I think -mm tree will be a good starting point to instantly increase fuse testing base to iron out possible glitches and to ensure official acceptance. -- Managing your Territory since the dawn of times ...
