| Apparently NTFS supports hard links.

If this report is true, its successor will not:

That sure suggests that nobody used them.

Extended attributes go too.  Not exactly sure what they are, but
perhaps that means that they can get dropped from Linux ExtN
filesystems (assuming that they are the same thing and are only there
to make extN semantics a superset of NTFS semantics).
