[Yaffs] YAFFS vs YAFFS2 future

Hi YAFFSers

I'd like to float an idea and see what sort of reaction it causes.

At present, both the YAFFS and YAFFS2 code bases are being enhanced. This 
causes duplication of work and increases the chances of clerical error etc.

I'd like to suggest that at some time in the future, eg, say, end of this 
year, YAFFS becomes dormant and the YAFFS2 codebase become the only codebase 
that continues.

The YAFFS2 codebase still supports the YAFFS1 data layout with a backward 
compatability mode, so no functionality should be lost.

Thoughts??
