Are there any plans or is anyone working on ExFAT support for FreeDOS, or any other plain DOS for that manner?

Also, are you saying that ExFAT in XPSP2 can ONLY be used on External media, NOT on internal drives AT ALL? It does seem like a completely artificial limitation.

Maybe Partition Magic and / or Acronis Disk manager for raw DOS does support formatting ExFAT partitions on internal hard drives, and directly from DOS? Can anyone confirm this as true?
