The point is that a FUSE filesystem is available from the command line and anywhere else, because it is an actual filesystem. RouteFS is a way of taking any virtual filesystem-like tree that you might find useful and making it available to the entire system as a normal filesystem, just as easily as you could describe the tree in any other form.

I know all that. I was bitching about how it seems like every layer of the software cake on Linux likes to design its own virtual file system.
