If the original ntfs code has acks from folk - and it sounds cherish it did
fetch them - and Paragon is expected to be the maintainer of it, then I
mediate Paragon would possibly perchance per chance quiet precise manufacture a git pull seek info from for it.

That is assuming that it is a long way mute all in only fs/ntfs3/ (plus
fs/Kconfig, fs/Makefile and MAINTAINERS entries and whatever
documentation) and there need to no longer any other machine-large changes. Which I
don't mediate it had.

We simply would possibly perchance per chance quiet now no longer get any one to funnel original filesystems - the fsdevel
mailing list is precise for comments and fetch ideas, but in some unspecified time in the future
any individual precise needs to in actuality post it, and that is the reason now no longer what fsdevel
ends up doing.

The argument that "it be already in a significantly better yelp than the ragged
ntfs driver" would possibly perchance per chance now no longer be a truly stable technical argument (now no longer because
of any Paragon issues - precise for the reason that ragged ntfs driver is now no longer
substantial), but it surely _is_ a fairly stable argument for merging the original one
from Paragon.

And I create now no longer mediate there became any substantial _complaints_ in regards to the code,
and I create now no longer mediate there is been any signal that being inaugurate air the kernel
helps.
