I imagine that backporting FUSE to 2.4 no-mmu will be more work than
backporting a filesystem, but I could be mistaken.  Moving my project
to a 2.6 kernel (*any* 2.6 kernel) would be much more work than
either.

All other filesystems I care about are in-kernel - NTFS is quite
exceptional in needing FUSE just to get ordinary, stable file access.
(The in-kernel NTFS is regarded as unstable and missing essential
basic features.)

None of this should be taken as any kind of criticism.  I love what
you guys have done.
