Frans,

any work to improve mtd-utils is appreciated. But the changes should be
sent by small reviewable pieces. I know the feeling when you can't
resist the temptation to re-write whole piece of crap, but we should not
do this.

Please, send separate small patches which do one thing at a time. Do not
hesitate to do even small or massive clean-ups, as long as they are done
in one-type-per-patch. Feel free to change functionality, as long as you
split your work on several nice patches, which can be easily reviewed.
Normal way is to do preparation patches, and then functionality changes.

Thanks!
