Re: [PATCH] Don't fetch UID/GID for SFTP files

Is anybody actually following recent versions of the draft? Isn't
OpenSSH still using version 3 or so? I remember having seen nice
additions of functions but nobody implemented them.

I also totally think that in most of the cases the UID/GID information
might be totally useless but there are certain setups (in cooperate
environments) where they actually make sense (central user database). So
this is another trade off I guess.

Well, since the recent draft deprecates it, it's probably a good idea to
get rid of it anyway. We only loose the ability to change the GID in
nautilus, right? So if somebody has objections please cry otherwise I am
fine with the patch.

Cheers,
Christian
