Hi,

at least it's not a problem to avoid installing gvfs, since it's an
optional dependency for Thunar. Upstream of several other GTK file
managers, for example Nautilus, Nemo and Caja make it a hard dependency
for no good reason and packagers usually follow upstream, so when using
a package of a major distro, a workaround is required, if installing
gvfs is unwanted by the user.

However, a customisable app isn't necessarily straight forward to
customize. For example, downgrading Thunar to an outdated release or
upgrading Thunar to the current master branch and hoping that it will
not change in the future again, is not straight forward.

Btw. the master branch of Thunar does not apply to the latest official
release from upstream of grep, see below, but by default it requires to
use other latest versions of dependencies, that are even not supported
by the official repositories of a rolling release major distro, such as
Arch Linux, let alone release model Linux distros or BSD, see below.
