Full agreement.

Only difference is that I would grind my teeth and accept a
jffs2-specific flag in mtd, if the overall code is improved that way.
Adding 10 lines of cruft to mtd and removing 50 lines of cruft from
jffs2 would be a net win.

If someone smarter comes along and notices that the 10 lines of cruft
can be removed from mtd without reintroducing 50 lines to jffs2, even
better.  Just like you showed me to use "can flip bits" instead of
"can mark obsolete".
