I have also thought about this. In my mind this is new driver to our tree.
But is been available from Paragon. Their customers may migrate to this
so let's give them easy path to it. They also have free version and
there is many Linux user who will switch to this when this is available.

Another thing what I been thinking is that how we will switch from
ntfs->ntfs3. To give easy path to this driver then we should in some
point add ntfs driver mount options to this one. Maybe not totally
funtional, but so that mounting is possible. Current ntfs driver had nls
option so it makes sense to add it here. We might even like to think
ntfs-3g mount options because that is more used.

Of course we can just drop this. But I like that user experience is good
with kernel. And if we can make that little more pleasent with couple
line of trivial code then imo let's do it. We just need to make sure we
drop these in one point of time. It is too often these kind of things
will live in kernel "internity".
