Because full NTFS support has been worked out by the NTFS-3G driver,
which is accessed via FUSE (File System in Userspace) -- no kernel
driver needed.

http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

On the bright side, you get full NTFS support now -- read, write,
everything.  Not just `read, and write as long as you don't want
something silly like change the size of an existing file or actually
create a new file or remove a file' like the old kernel driver.

Granted, it's a bit weird having a filesystem driver handled by a
userland process, but it seems to work perfectly.
