If you don't drop the group requirement, then people simply won't get
their gvfs mounts mounted via fuse in ~/.gvfs. Unless they accidentally
stumble over the fact that they could become a member of the fuse
group... it is not the end of the world, since gnome applications will
happily work with gvfs and don't need those fuse mounts. But it makes
fuse pretty much useless for the average user.
