Since YAFFS2 will share probably 90% of YAFFS code, I have been realigning
YAFFS towards YAFFS2 with any major efforts (eg. doing the soft delete
stuff). There are no definite dates for YAFFS2, but if someone needs it and
is prepared to sponsor development, then I'm sure a definite deliverty date
could be worked out.

There is no reason why YAFFS will not work with a 16-bit wide bus (so long as
they still have 512-byte pages) . These devices use 8-bit commands and x16
only for data transfer which makes the data transfer faster.
