nautilus has an explicit dependency in the spec file on gnome-vfs2-smb. It does not have any apparent dependency on libsmb.so that is provided by gnome-vfs2-smb (nothing seems to have such a dependency). If I don't have any need to browse Windows networks, why do I need the software installed?
Features are great; _required_ features are not.

RFE in bugzilla is far more effective mechanism for change than fedora-devel.
