Correct.  We can write a whole UBI image, today, of NAND size,
regardless of DDR size.  But modifying UBI volumes (so UBIFS or your
kernel in UBI or ...) will depend on what the UBI API provides us today.
Modifying files on UBIFS (say replacing the kernel that's in UBIFS
rather than a UBI volume itself) is another wrinkle, due to a lack of
filesystem append.
