nautilus has an explicit dependency in the spec file on gnome-vfs2-smb.
It does not have any apparent dependency on libsmb.so that is provided
by gnome-vfs2-smb (nothing seems to have such a dependency). If I don't
have any need to browse Windows networks, why do I need the software
installed?
Features are great; _required_ features are not.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
