Hi Bruce
I found rootless overlay for podman:
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/podman-rootless-overlay
It seems that podman can use native overlay file system with the Linux
kernel versions 5.13.
So fuse-overlayfs is not mandatory RDEDPEN in rootless after kernel 5.13.
What do you think about it.
Liu

Hi Bruce
Do you mean a new patch like this:

Whether right or wrong, fuse-overlayfs was being pulled in
by rootless.
So it should stay pulled in by rootless (unless you can show
me that there's no requirement at all from rootless .. and
that information needs to be in the commit message).
It can also just stay in both, since last I checked, having
the depdendency in twice doesn't cause any issues.
