Apparently this affects most if not all flavors of Ubuntu. Especially the default flavor.

The AppImage format for distributing applications is centered around the idea that a user can boot the Ubuntu Live ISO, download an application in AppImage format, make it executable, and run it without having to install anything.

Not having libfuse2 and fusermount on the Live ISO breaks this for all existing AppImages out there.

AppImage tooling (the tools application authors use to produce AppImages of their software) will have to be updated by the AppImage project, but even once it is, it will take considerable time until all application authors release updated AppImages of their software.

Hence, asking for a defined grace period until fuse2 gets removed from the Ubuntu Live ISO.
