JFFS2 worked well enough when those laptops were built and tested!

I started looking at ubifs expecting to at least have the chance to use
it on larger raw devices.  The nine-month technology cycle time of the
NAND Flash industry just doesn't fit well with the larger SoC design time.

The notable point, IMO, is the growing acceptance of FTLs everywhere,
through SSDs.
