If people use alternate packagings of *MacFUSE Core*, that makes it unnecessarily harder, and impossible in some cases, for me to offer them support. I have not seen any convincing or justifiable arguments in favor of using arbitrary packagings. Some features might not even work if you move things around (the file system bundle has to be in a specific location). Unlike programs or libraries, MacFUSE Core is a global system-shared resource that you can't have multiple instances of.
My recommendation is to try not to create potential for extra confusion.
