Not sure where you got that idea from...

Because I'm not really interested in using D-Bus in gvfs modules
anymore. It's a pain to debug, especially when the client is used by
more than one module (say, for both bluetooth-sendto and the gvfs
backend).

Furthermore, the backend is already split out from applications, and
from the gvfs daemon. So adding a level of indirection is not really
necessary. Finally, nobody's written the file descriptor passing to
allow arbitrary data to be written through obexftp.

Now I can get better crasher and leak reports, better error handling,
stop using temporary files, and still share much of the backend code of
obexd.

If you want to help, you can look into porting gnome-user-share to using
obexd if you want...

Cheers
