http://fuse.sf.net/ is being included in
the mainline kernel 2.6.14. It has been in -mm since january 2005 and is now in -rc.

Right. Is there a page that states what kernel options will be turned
on, or should i wait for a reply from DaveJ here (or contact him
directly)?
Thorsten already answered that:
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/kernel/devel/configs/config-gen...
Is there another place to inquire whether somebody is alredy working
on packaging FUSE userspace binaries?
You could ask on the fedora-extras list, but I don't know of anyone
doing that offhand.
If no packages are being made, then Richard Dawe has created fuse
binary packages that are fully functional, but i have not checked whether
they fully comply with the inclusion criteria. If there is any more work
required on the packages, i will be helping him.
Cool.
