(In reply to VVD from comment #6)
It is an optional dependency, and most applications probably don't care whe=
ther
gvfs is installed. For applications which don't provide special features for
remote files, I think it is fine to remove the dependency on gvfs.

However, nautilus should be treated specially. There is a page describing h=
ow
to access network shares in its documentation, assuming the feature is alwa=
ys
available. Instead of dropping the dependency, I think it should be better =
to
move the dependency to x11-fm/nautilus port itself, so it can be controlled=
 by
a GVFS option which is enabled by default.

I don't think x11/gnome3 will need a GVFS option. If you use GNOME desktop,=
 you
should have gvfs installed. Neither JHBuild modulesets nor gnome-build-meta
considers gvfs to be optional in a GNOME desktop environment.
