We also would be happy if it summary patch would be the part of the
official JFFS2 (at least the erase block summary).

If I remember well David (dwmw2) said that it should be the part of
JFFS3 only, because he would like to see only bugfixes in JFFS2. He did
not mentioned that the reason is that it is messy. If it is true we will
clean it (or partially rewrite if necessery) just please say some words
about exactly why and where it is messy.

Thanks,
