Yes right, the missing tools was not an argument against it, just an
additional indication. As you pointed out is more concerning, and
hinting that we should wait a bit more to see how it evolves.

Apart from Ted Ts'o comments, I looked up the mailinglist,
https://lore.kernel.org/ntfs3/ which relatively quiet. The same
goes for commits in fs/ntfs3 in mainline, since the merge in 5.15
there ws almost no activity, which is slightly unusual for something
new entering.

Regards and thank you!
Salvatore
