As we all know FUSE is a project to implement ad-hoc filesystems

suitable for production. Hence my comment. Furthermore if the
filesystem was production quality it would most likely be
implemented within the system, not a user application. User based
applications don't lend themselves well as production services.
That's a rather broad categorization to make and, as such, not
really supportable.
There are many instances where putting a filesystem in user space
is a good idea:
BTW [to the list, not necessarily to JKH] - check out the HURD, where
almost any problem can be fixed by recompiling and restarting some
user-land process. There's a kernel-space module for e2fs, but that
just brings the system up to a point where it can launch the
userspace e2fs translator and get on with some real work ;-) On a
PPC Mac, it'd be easy to imagine a scenario where the system only
relies on the Open Firmware HFS+ reader until it's loaded a userspace
HFS+ translator.
Cheers,
Graham.
