Well it is true: ntfs-3g is a user space file-system, not a kernel one. It's a minor point, but someone looking for kernel support could easily conclude there's no ntfs read-write.
Aside: it's amazing how quickly ntfs-3g has become accepted, after years of slow kernel development. Ultimately it was built using knowledge acquired by the kernel project; but it's also a FUSE success story, as the developers had always suggested that achieving enough stability to go in the kernel was too high a hurdle.
