If you want to have such discussions, can you please post in macfuse-devel 
instead of opening formal bug 
tickets here?

Supporting "LN" isn't up to MacFUSE alone--specific user-space file systems 
must do their part if hard links are 
to be allowed. When you say "LN...not supported", did you actually look into 
the details of this or is it just that 
you tried some file system (say, sshfs) and "LN" didn't work? If you look in 
the MacFUSE kernel source, you'll see 
that it does, in fact, implement link(), and if you see in the MacFUSE 
user-space library, you'll see that it does, in 
fact, implement link().
