Right.

As I described, it should not indeed. But adding it to the used tree
does not cause problems in practice. I mean that old UBI binaries which
do not contain your patch will also work just fine.

I've pushed your patch to the UBI tree.

It is right.

Hmm, good question. I think it is fine to delete them asynchronously. I
do not see any problems with that. If we have, e.g., a power cut before
they are actually erased, we will erased them next time we mount.
