Exactly ;)

Difference with having it in just certain applications like Gnome-VFS
etc is that it would work with all applications, over SMB shares
etc. This is a great advantage and benefit for many desktop users
but also in a corporate environment. Even though there are backups
of users documents it is a pain to restore them every time they
loose the original file. Besides, the backup is never as fresh
either.
