Hi! Sorry for the lame reply, I had to pull this mail out of a mailing list archive.

IMHO we should not only focus on the user interface. Customers often ask me for the following two features: - A tool to extract files from an UBIFS image (AKA ubidump). - Fastmap support for the ubinize tool to generate fastmap enabled UBI images. If it's not too late it would nice to see that wishes in the proposal too.
