Not at all, FUSE is a userspace flesystem meant to be used after single
user.

The spec says you have to be able to mount other filesystems not all
other filesystems. I'd like to see you mount an OpenBSD ffs partition.


So no your point does not stand. As has already been said the
cure is worse than the disease many of which have been
demonstrated to amount to exactly nothing in all cases and likely why
Greg refused to specify what was broken. You've completely ignored the
part of FHS about the root filesystem and completely made up your own
rules to justify Linux having management problems that some
irresponsible devs chose to enforce upon all and now eudev is working to
fix and bring the core of linux back into compliance and higher
reliability. 

I'm not surprised Michael can't be bothered to reply. I would use your
time more constructively than responding to this thread pollution in
any comprehensive manner.
