Hmm, I might be sounding like a troll here. I'm sorry.

But hey, there is even an OLS paper about it:

Of course you might argue that it's GIO/gvfs/nautilus' fault for
becoming hung themselves which I can certainly agree with and that
would be a bug but you'd need to provide mode information about it,
like actual steps to reproduce it.
