Right now, you can use it to store uploaded attachments (for IMP) in a SQL 
database if you need. I'm working on making it the backend that Gollem sits 
on top of, as well, and there are a bunch of other things - attachments to 
bug reports in Whups, etc. Lots of stuff to do here.

That could be a pretty imaginative use of it - giving the VFS the ability 
to browse directly in to archives, and using that to view them. I think 
it's worth looking in to as things mature.
