Hello,

this project looks really cool and I wanted to integrate it as a backend into ratarmount, if you are not opposed to that. However, while looking into it, I saw that the dependency PyFilesystem2 seems to not have received updates since 2 years ago.

In the ReadMe, a low-level API is mentioned, which I assume is the PyFat.py file as opposed to the PyFatFS file / PyFilesystem2 URI opening. I would like to use those without have fs as a dependency. Would that be possible?

PyFilesystem2 would have to be taken out of the pyproject somehow. But, having it as an optional dependency also seems clunky, ... I guess one could split the project into two subprojects on PyPI to avoid that, e.g. pyfatfs and pyfatfs_ll. But even then, PyFatIO.py imports fs.mode. This also would have to be abstracted to get rid of the dependency. This seems to be the only import of fs, so it might be easier than thought to use it without fs.
