I haven't done further investigations but it seems we should take care about keep supporting the FAT file system.
How is the state with NTFS? Is the license situation there more safe?
Opinions?

Kernel developers are working on it:

We might think to use this option in our next kernel packages.

Might think about it yes, but actually don't include it. Even upstream has discussion about if this is the right thing to do. This thing is targeted at companies using linux in their embedded devices so they won't have a chance of getting sued by Microsoft for these invalid patents. I would consider this a huge regression when it enters the ARCH stock kernel.
