There are some questions behind what I'm asking. If these are hacked versions of those utilities, then I'd like to understand how we will deal with the 1991/061 rules. If they're not hacked, then I'm a little puzzled on why they're buried. It's not as if this project team appears to want to promise a great deal of stability for parted itself (they're saying "Volatile," so it can't be used easily within the installer), so I don't understand drawing the "support" line at parted itself and excepting away ntfsprogs.
