Can you write the documentation at least in
Documentation/filesystems/ntfsplus.rst?

What's the plan for journaling? Mirroring the Windows implementation AFAIK?

For the timeline: I guess you plan to submit journaling patches right after
ntfsplus is merged (at least applied to the filesystem tree or direct PR to
Linus), or would it be done for the subsequent release cycle (6.n+1)?

Regarding stability: As it is a new filesystem, shouldn't it be marked
experimental (and be stabilized for a few cycles) first?

Thanks.
