So we drop it, because it is not perfect .. which perfect package you want to
use instead, which provides the same services for all possible remote location
types?

> and use davfs2 mounts for webdav instead.
How about you provide a patch for gvfs-backends instead, so that it properly
uses davfs2 with some extended API?
IMO would be a huge waste of time and energy if every file manager implements
its own remote protocol API for all possible remote location types.

> It is pretty clear that the future of centralised file serving uses clouds. And at this time they are all (and only) accessible via webdav. And this works flawlessly in davfs2, and completely buggy in gvfs. So choose your option ...
Well, even if MOST remote files, like in your bright future vision can be
accessed via webdav, I belive there still will be SOME files, which will
require other remote location types.

> The above basically means you cannot access files from any software (like libreoffice, abiword or the like) through classical double-clicking and mostly even not through simple open-file-requesters. IT IS USELESS.
You tried the package "libreoffice-gnome" ? I dont have any trouble to open
libreoffice stuff on network shares. Here some more info:
