I am the author of WinFsp. Thanks for mentioning it.
WinFsp properly supports the filter manager, which means that AV filters should work without problems.

Dokan calls IoRegisterFileSystem on disk file systems, but does not appear to do so on network file systems. FsRtlRegisterUncProvider is the pre-Vista MUP and does not do it for you.
WinFsp has multiple integrated test suites, some of which Dokany uses (with tests missing/disabled). It also has hundreds of users at this point.
1. The only Dokany thread that I have explicitly mentioned WinFsp is this one (and only after someone else mentioned it). I avoided doing so on your Reddit thread, for example. You may consider that my original message to the Dokany mailing list was promotion, but from my perspective at least it was simply a message to like minded people.
2. That until Lyrina's message(s) in cygwin-apps, where she effectively sabotaged my ITP submission, I was willing to work with Dokany and I said so in a message to the Dokany list.
The truth is that until that ITP submission point I was not bothering anyone and was just working on my project. The only two times that I made comments on Dokany vs WinFsp was when I was explicitly asked: one time by you on the Dokany list and one time on Reddit in WinFsp's own promotion thread.
So I agree with you: let's stop the arguments here. I am willing to stop hijacking threads or trying to sabotage your project's progress. However I also want Dokany to stop insinuating that WinFsp is not being tested (where my argument about the test suites stems from) or sabotage WinFsp's progress.
