Without any intention to change the direction, let me just state some facts:

 - it was never suggested that famfs depend on the fusex work in any way

 - the plan to add famfs mappings to fuse was laid out two and a half
years ago in reply to the very first rfc posting and has basically
remained unchanged since then:

I understand how that seemingly simple API addition was overwhelming
for John, and I should have been more proactive in helping with the
implementation.  That's entirely my fault.

On the other hand John could have been more trusting that the plan will work.

But that's behind us now, let's move on...

Thanks,
Miklos
