Are there any plans of supporting exFAT in the future?

There are no plans for exFAT support in the near future. From what I know exFAT is very different from FAT12/16/32 - it has additional structures and different memory layout. Therefor adding it would require a lot of changes and a lot of new code. I'm not sure whether fatfs crate should support it or if differences are enough to make a separate crate more sensible. But I'm open for discussion (and code contributions).

I haven't looked at the exFAT specification quite yet, I am just doing some scoping for a future project. I'll have a look and come back with some more info. I am more than happy to contribute code :smiley:.
