reference in [MFS](https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/glossary/#mfs), or deal with
low level pins if they do not wish to do so. It is now possible to pass MFS

a low level pin.

What makes a pin "low level" in this context?

$ ipfs add cat.jpg
QmCID
$ ipfs files cp /ipfs/QmCID /mfs-cats/cat.jpg
$ ipfs pin rm QmCID # removing low level pin, since MFS is protecting from gc

What's the benefit of deleting the low level pin?

This is fantastic. Just wondered about the "trade-offs" from a user perspective between pins and MFS and why a pin is considered in this context low level.
