I'll second that.

And also just because libsoup is a GNOME library, so it integrates more
nicely with other GNOME stuff than neon would. (It uses GObjects, it
uses the glib main loop when you're using async mode, etc.)

And if there is any functionality gnome-vfs needs that libsoup doesn't
have, we can add it.
