No objections from me. I imported this in 2014 mostly out of idle
curiosity about fuse. I never used it for anything important.

This removal should probably be mentioned in the port upgrade notes for 7.8.
Users who have data in encfs won't be able to read this data in a trivial
way after upgrading. They might want to migrate the data beforehand.
