### Please describe the problem.

In the past archived issue ([[https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:t2N25kWAWEsJ:https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/encfs_accused_of_being_crippled/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us]]) you have left a comment 

    So, it seems worthwhile to break out lack of hard links support from the other limitations currently lumped into "cripped file system". I've done so.

did it mean that encfs should be supported without assuming it crippled any longer?

I have just tried with annex 6.20160425+gitgffe2ea2-1~ndall+1  and it still considers it crippled (FWIW and for the record encfs is 1.8.1-3+b2)
