Sounds fine. You wanna take care of that? ;)

OK. So my list's step 7 would just have us jump to 1.4.7 and stick all
utils to that version.

I got the ball rolling with a patch incrementing nanddump and mtdinfo
versions. Then a maintainer can take step 2 on my list (i.e., tag the
release), and Mike and I can hack away at feature-removal...
