I would really love to see us use libfuse (not a forked or bundled
version) with libgfapi. That should make it easier for us to follow
upstream enhancements. A proof of concept was once written by Olegsandr
Natalenko and is available at https://github.com/gluster/xglfs

Maintaining three access xlators/protocols (FUSE, gNFS, gfapi) adds a
lot of overhead. Having a single one (gfapi) with additional projects
for the other 'bindings' to protocols would be much better to maintain.

There was a bug or issue for this somewhere... I'm not able to find it
though.
