    Can I propose FUSE be included with the standard SUSE distribution?

    The FUSE system has gained a lot of momentum. It is a generic filesystem
    driver that exports all its calls to the user space. This allows easy
    creation of innovative file systems, like database-backed filesystems,
    encrypted filesystems, and (mine) the OWFS 1-wire filesystem.

    See http://fuse.sourceforge.net

    FUSE has been included with the mm series of kernels. Unfortunately, having an
    external kernel module means my users have to reinstall FUSE after every
    kernel update, which seems to be rather common. Including fuse with the
    standard distribution would add no significant complexity or tradeoffs, and
    make SuSE a stronger distribution.
