Many of us have cameras, mp3 players etc that we access that way. If it does the job (and it almost certainly will here), I'd much rather use that over filesystem code that has had almost no use in comparison (unless the data is basically worth nothing). Think I'd pick it over trying to mount OpenBSD FFS from FreeBSD, too...
