OK, then, I think that begs two questions:
- If the ntfsprogs utilities were already included in the product as
a supported feature, would this project use them as-is or would it
still need to ship its own private variants?
- Is there some savings in effort for locating the binaries in
/usr/lib/parted versus in /usr/sbin?
