It only depends on users' and developers' interest. Ntfs-3g did 
implement, improved and fixed many ntfsprogs utilities in the last 
six years (ntfsresize, ntfsclone, mkntfs, ntfsfix, vista compatibility, 
etc). And we do plan to include stable versions of at least the most 
important ones in NTFS-3G in the next 2-4 months (mkfs, fsck, label, 
resize, clone, image, restore, info, debug, cmp).

Currently we're using a stable, old CVS ntfsprogs version between 
1.13.1 and 2.0.0 which is essential for the NTFS-3G quality assurance 
and regression testing. Porting and validation of the tools and all 
the tests on http://ntfs-3g.org/quality.html takes quite a lot of 
time and close attention not to introduce reliability problems.
