The FUSE implementation itself already has a binary installer (and 
indeed, we cannot build it from source since there are none), and so if 
one wants it, it's easy to install without our infrastructure.

I've suggested elsewhere that it's a good idea to probably take the last 
open source version of FUSE for MacOS and figure out how to get it to 
work without needing a kernel extension given that those are on the way out.

Anyway, this is just one person's opinion. I'm not going to yell very 
loud if it stays, but it feels icky to me.
