I suppose functionality like the old file.device would always be a handy thing to have, and not just for bin/cue. Mount any file using any filesystem using a file.device, with support for formats like ADF and ISO and bin/cue? Definitely handy. However, the developers just have other priorities.

The old file.device from the ancient but still excellent (and operational) xfs package on Aminet still works, however I don't think it ever supported CD filesystems.

(Edit: xfs, not xfd.)
