Apparently this affects most if not all flavors of Ubuntu. Especially
the default flavor.

The AppImage format for distributing applications is centered around the
idea that a user can boot the Ubuntu Live ISO, download an application
in AppImage format, make it executable, and run it without having to
install anything.

Not having libfuse2 and fusermount on the Live ISO breaks this for all
existing AppImages out there.

AppImage tooling (the tools application authors use to produce AppImages
of their software) will have to be updated by the AppImage project, but
even once it is, it will take considerable time until all application
authors release updated AppImages of their software.

Hence, asking for a defined grace period until fuse2 gets removed from
the Ubuntu Live ISO.
