Please, go whine somewhere else. Network filesystems are on the TODO
list but you have to respect that Xfce is a hobby project. It's not
sponsored by companies and we're not getting payed to work on it. So
sometimes new features take time.

*expect* things from us then you are wrong here.

talking about.
