I'd say that we also need to consider EXFAT which is available only for
FUSE, and the fact that the FUSE-based NTFS driver has more features
than the kernel driver. And, frankly speaking, I don't think that FAT
belongs to the kernel at all. So any proposed solution has to be
extensible enough to also cover FUSE.
