I complete agree. Are there that many people running performance-sensitive I/O bound apps directly out of their Dropbox? Shouldn't they contribute back to libfuse rather than reinvent the VFS, with all the (sure as death and taxes) pitfalls and CVEs that will come along with it?
- azinman2 10y agoI wouldn't if I were Dropbox. Given the size of them, the speed they want to move, the security concerns with other people's code (vs a known beast that you're responsible for that you can limit to just what you need), the custom behavior they want (like new kinds of permissions, and the ultimate flexiblity of being in control of your own destiny... I'd make the same call. Dropbox has the talent to do this right.
