Well it is true: ntfs-3g is a user space file-system, not a kernel one. 
 It's a minor point, but someone looking for kernel support could 
easily conclude there's no ntfs read-write.

Aside: it's amazing how quickly ntfs-3g has become accepted, after years 
of slow kernel development.  Ultimately it was built using knowledge 
acquired by the kernel project; but it's also a FUSE success story, as 
the developers had always suggested that achieving enough stability to 
go in the kernel was too high a hurdle.
