Ah, right, I forgot about CONFIG_NTFS_RW as I've never enabled it.
Judging from the now removed Kconfig entry perhaps not that many people
did:
The only supported operation is overwriting existing files,
without changing the file length. No file or directory
creation, deletion or renaming is possible.
but I guess it still makes my argument above mostly moot.
At least if we disable write support in ntfs3 by default for now...
