The main purpose of the new category is to get rid of the sysutils/fusefs- pseudo category. The prefix stays for installed packages so the PKGNAME doesn't change and binary package users do not get a surprise when they try to update. If for some reason there are multiple packages competing for the same name within the filesystems category, a disambiguating prefix may be added as usual. > Is there a plan to tag the old sysutils/fusefs-* ports with, e.g., > some 'fusefs' virtual category?

Right now you can find these easily using "git grep '^USES=.*fuse', though in principle a fusefs (or just fuse) virtual category might be nice. Feel free to propose such a category. I wanted to keep it with just one new category as to raise the chances of this patch passing review (still took over a month).
