I guess that it's always possible to implement a gnome-vfs method that
would use that. Given the overlap in functionality (see which methods
are implemented in lufs and which ones are implemented in gnome-vfs), I
don't see much of a point.

The semantics of the two are also quite different. What is the point
exactly again ? ;)
