No. model = any data source. mcvfs - one of sources for mc.
I think, it is very early to discuss. We need to start their work,
rather than drown in the discussions. :)

Cool. I'm waiting now this patch. :)

But if file will open by DE, mc don't handle data from 'shorcut'. If mc
open 'shotcut' itself, then for example, pressing 'Enter' on *.mcvfs-ftp
will display in active panel of mc content of remote ftp-server ('cat
*.mcvfs-ftp' may be display content too ;) )
Treat all 'shorcuts' makes no sense - it's set up through mc.ext if
needed. I am talking about support in the file mc.ext like this, for
example:
shell/.mcvfs-ftp
     Open=mcvfs:ftp
shell/.mcvfs-dav
     Open=mcvfs:dav
shell/.mcvfs-ssh
     Open=mcvfs:ssh

Or simular.

But it is very early to discuss too, IMHO. We can dream now, but a
little... ;)

There mc-4.6.3 - is a invalid version (Russian fork). As right, we had
to change name (mc+, for example). Sorry. :(

First, may will be add UTF-8 support; may will be apply other patches,
stabilized in various distributions.
Second, there mc-4.6.3... people will be at a loss :(

WBR, Slavaz.

P.S. To all: With the passing Christmas :)
