One significant advantage is that JFFS2 provides a _writable_ flash
filesystem, while cramfs is read-only. But as stated before: this is
an advantage only when you need a writable filesystem.

Yes.

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least
one instruction - from which, by induction, one can deduce that every
program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.
