I don't have an answer but I do know that FUSE will become
a more official part of the kernel in the future instead
of the hacked up mess that it is today.

If somebody has FUSE or lufs working on your system,
you might want to keep that in mind before doing
any kind of upgrades... you might just break it in
the process.

VERY, VERY fragile in it's current state.
