A burning application probably wants to have a very tight control over
the burning process.  For instance, burning audio tracks or burning
files on an ISO file system.  Unless the VFS would provide every
possible case and usage scenario, applications like Rhythmbox would have
to contain two separate code paths.

It also would make Rhythmbox depend on bug fixes and improvements to be
done on the gnome-vfs module.
