ntfsprogs is not really maintained these days, but it provides utilities
that ntfs-3g does not intend to implement in the near term.

Long term, it is probable that ntfs-3g will enable the same set of
functionality that ntfsprogs does, but until then, we'll continue to
leverage the best of both worlds.
