always changing ? The bug you reference contains _one_ 'excuse'.

oh believe me I would LOVE to enable ntfs... but it must be legally possible /
sensible to do so ;(

The same reason then applies today, so our position hasn't changed
since at least 2002-08-16. Maybe earlier bugs that were filed did
have other excuses (I really don't care, so don't bother looking),
but the fact remains there is legal uncertainty surrounding us
shipping this module.
