Technically yes.  Though I think the real issue is that it's necessary 
to drop the point of having the fuse group in the first place to do 
this.  (i.e. let all users have access to what fuse does (suid) by 
default).  Which seems to be worthy of discussion, since obviously there 
was some perceived benefit of structuring it that way in the first place.
