Comment(by tomeu):

 We chose to not allow direct access to files in usb sticks because we
 didn't find a good solution from the security point of view that we felt
 we were able to implement in time for update.1. That area in the DS is
 already quite fragile and we lack resources to safely mess in there.

 Do we really need this feature for update.1? Cannot release note it?

 Should the DS instead do something to limit the amount of space that it
 can take on NAND?
