I think a rebase with linux would be nice, but is it enough to
resync NAND only? ... or do you mean a MTD re-sync?

Also resync UBI/UBIFS with current linux version would be a nice
idea, but I have not found time for it, and nobody seems to need
it ... also I have no good testsetup yet handy for trying it fast.

So, sorry, I have no plan for doing such a rebase ...

Not an unsolvable job, but it needs time and particularly good testing.

bye,
Heiko
