Why is ntfs-3g not included anymore in Ubuntu 11.10?

Now I can't write to my NTFS partition.

Just curiosity, why the change?

I found out that ntfsprogs has write support for NTFS. And thus it replaces ntfs-3g.

But this package is still a bit buggy and sometimes it doesn't work so you can't create new folders and files on the NTFS filesystems.

So it is working on a random base xD.

In Ubuntu things should be tested more properly. Because they just replaced a working package with a buggy one.
