Linus Torvalds approved a request to remove it from the kernel. Linux The old NTFS file system driver. Starting with release 5.15, the kernel includes a new NTFS3 driver, developed and maintained by Paragon Software. Shipping two NTFS drivers in the kernel is impractical, given that the old driver hasn't been updated for many years, is in poor condition, and can only operate in read-only mode.
The new NTFS3 driver supports write mode and all features of the current NTFS 3.1 version, including extended file attributes, access control lists (ACLs), data compression, efficient handling of file voids (sparse), and replaying changes from the journal for crash recovery. Removing the old driver should not affect distributions, as, for example, Debian does not compile or use NTFS drivers from the kernel at all, but offers users an implementation of ntfs-3g that runs in user space. In Arch Linux The new ntfs3 driver is used by default.
