As the person who tested the latest ntfs3 patchset, and had tested
many of those iterations in the past, I would really like to see
this *finally* land in Linux 5.14.

However, I get the feeling it's not going to make it for 5.14 *or*
5.15, and it seems like Paragon became discouraged by the lack of
feedback on the latest revision.

I know that compared to all you awesome folks, I'm just a lowly
user, but it's been frustrating to see nothing happen for months
with something that has a seriously high impact for a lot of people.

It's a shame, because the ntfs3 driver is miles better than the
current ntfs one, and is a solid replacement for the unmaintained
ntfs-3g FUSE implementation.
