Correction: when we were developing UBI/UBIFS and upstreamed them, MLC
was widely used yet we did not really know about it. So there was
nothing to reject yet.

The mistake is that we did not add the reject timely. When people
started reporting MLC issues we were answering that UBI/UBIFS stack
needs more work to make MLC safe to use, and we hoped someone would do
the work.
