Re: find-dired for remote directories

[Richard Stallman]

    find-dired works over local directories only. I've made a patch that
    it calls `shell-command' (asynchronously) instead of
    `start-process-shell-command'. By this, `find-grep-dired' and
    `find-name-dired` work over remote directories too, using Tramp.

Does anyone see a reason not to do this?
