+Subject: [PATCH] compose: Also treat FUSE as a netfs
+
+Fedora is apparently currently using sshfs because S390 is in a different
+location than the main servers.
+
+Since it seems nontrivial to detect just sshfs, and FUSE is problematic in
+general, let's just do the the not-horrific-on-netfs path for all FUSE mounts.
