The goal of last year's effort was to simplify the support for 
WebDAV by replacing our "roll-your-own, based on Tomcat" DAV with 
something updated and modern. I still think that's a valid goal, 
although we appear to be exchanging one set of headaches for 
another soemtimes.

WebDAV is easier for end-users to use than sftp, even if 
Cyberduck supports it. Forcing people to use Fuse or 
yet-another-client doesn't make for friendliness.
