Compressed in cramfs is the point where I really disagree. iirc,
cramfs images are a bit larger than jffs2 images. So if you want a
read-only rootfs, jffs2 might be a better idea, already.

Especially, if you need some if the jffs2 functionality again to save
configuration data. I doubt that you would save a lot with userspace
code + cramfs versus jffs2 both in flash and in memory consumption.

Time might be spend better in improving jffs2, than in reimplementing
a subset of jffs2's functionality each time.
