Gordan,

   Recent RHEL and CentOS kernel update of -164 patch set has included fuse into
   there rpms.  ABI version in 2.6.18-164 is 7.10 for fuse. This has been a phenominal
   improvement as the ABI version even till fuse-2.7.4glfs11 was 7.8. So pretty much
   with new kernel update its pretty much dependency free :)

Detection is based on the ABI version the fuse kernel module exports.
Essentially it is detecting the feature and does not care about what
the kernel module version is.
