While non-native Linux filesystem support (e.g. affs/isofs/...) could be handled by FUSE
Moving to FUSE is a great divide-and-conquer strategy for those who just want the code to die and don't care about any of the data in that format. If there is a maintainence burden that can be shared then it should be shared -- until it can be established that there is no data of value in that format.
moving RDB partition support to staging is not an option, as it is the only partitioning scheme that Amigas can boot from.
Whether or not the original hardware is in use is mostly irrelevant. As long as the old format is accessible using current hardware, the data in that format remains accessible (to archivists, to curators, to your decendents, etc).
If there are bugs in the RDB parser that people run into, they should be fixed. If there are limitations in the RDB format on large disks, that's still not a reason to move it to staging (hi msdos partitioning!).
