Yes, there are many plans, including the release of fsck.ntfs-3g.
However the work to be done is still about 140 man-years (the size of
Microsoft NTFS is almost like all the other 60 Linux file systems
altogether), so we need to prioritize things somehow to best fit the
few hours per day developer resource and still remain stable.
The current focus is on permission and ownership support, better filename
handling, fixing/implementing issues on the support FAQ list, performance
optimization and importing/fixing the ntfsprogs utilities when we can
afford the support resources.

Yes, it would be highly useful for development too for several reasons.
Even running chkdsk via wine would be fantastic.
