Obviously I don't. However that's hardly an argument for providing even less information. And stat() btw pretty much covers what information there is to present for network filesystems and archives, since there _is_ a real filesystem where the information originated from (though sometimes it's not a UNIX type of filesystem, in which case there has to be some mapping of the info).
