I'm afraid it's not that trivial. The issue of actual benefits vs. uses
arise, with a major concern about piracy. A simillar decision went for
the Xbox DVD fs (xdvdfs): http://www.xbox-linux.org/docs/needgdfs.html

So, until benefits (of which I see very few, if any) out-number actual
uses, I'm afraid a conclusive decision to this remains to be made, hence
the Cc: to gc-linux-devel. Thanks.
