This is silly reasoning. That would be like me saying that kio_fuse should be 
added to the stock Linux kernel because then ncurses apps and KDE apps can 
use the same VFS library.

Why does it always seem like people want to make KDE use Gnome technologies 
(often not as far developed as their KDE counterparts) in order to improve 
compatability?

Why doesn't Gnome implement the KIO Slave IPC protocol? After all, as I 
understand it, a KIOSlave is a process, Gnome apps wouldn't have to link 
against a KDE library to makde use of existing KDE IO slaves already on the 
system. And there are far more KIO slaves than GVFS ones.

For that matter, why not explore making kio_fuse more robust and shipping it 
with default distros, then *any* app, even a console one, can make use of all 
the KIO slaves.
