I'm sorry, I mistiteled the mail. No doubt, CRC checking is needed to
detect problems. They may come from different sources, not only NAND
technology.
But I formulated question as: "does NAND technology imply that RO
partition may become bad, and it is normal?".
The question is about NAND technology.
Ok, thin about Joern's phrase:

Now imagine we have this data on RO partition. Other non-sensitive data on
RW partition. So, does this mean that only non-sensitive data may be
corrupted? Can we keep safe our RO data this way? I only mean the
corruptions due to *NAND technology*
