I guess, that ntfs in parted is intersting by itself, but, it makes 
small sence because of the following reasons:

(1) Ntfs is needed only if you are using ntfs on one of yours 
partitions, that is, you have windows on it.
(2) I'm sceptical about that, anybody will use ntfstools (resize, check, 
etc) under linux if windows present on the box.

Distromakers are not intersted in supporting concurrent product (RedHat 
is promoting and developing ext3).
If I'm wrong, tell me :)
