Hi,

I would like to comment this:

"AXFS is not upstream and may not meet our needs. BtrFS is close to being integrated into kernel.org but as experimental, in-development code. YAFFS2 is deployed in quantity but the maintainer has not expressed interest in pushing it upstream and it does not support compression."

1. AXFS is read-only file-system so it is for sure not appropriate. 2. BtrFS is designed for block devices. Yes, I know it is special and log-structured,

  but it is not realistic to use it on Flash, I believe. These talks are just
  speculations in my opinion.
