I'm gvfs allergic.

[root@archlinux moonstudio]# pacman -Qi gvfs | grep Description
Description     : Dummy package
[root@archlinux moonstudio]# systemd-nspawn -q dpkg -l gvfs | grep ii
ii  gvfs           2016:07-13-moonstudio all          Dummy package

One reason for this allergy is the fact that gvfs wakes up green drives
for no reason, so they spin down and up again and again and ... as soon
as gvfs is removed and no other culprit, such as smartd is running, the
green drives stay asleep. Most, if not all apps with a hard dependency
to gfvs don't require gvfs, IOW they could make it an optional
dependency.
