There doesn’t seem to be any active upstream either. I have seen a fork around the internet somewhere that claims to have implemented support for exfat via fuse.

On my venerable Beowulf install:

$ ll /sbin/mount.exfat-fuse

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 63028 Nov  1  2018 /sbin/mount.exfat-fuse*

Since it's -rwxr-xr-x, it looks like a ready pmount substitute to me. (Not tried, admittedly.) There's an /sbin/mount.exfat symlink.

And:

$ which mkfs.exfat

mkfs.exfat is /sbin/mkfs.exfat

So in Devuan since 2020 or earlier, I figure.
