I can't see a reason why u-boot needs to have a different layout, and it would be controversial to change it as it'll break existing devices. It's a shame it wasn't made consistent in the beginning. Oh well :)
Specifically, I'm interested in getting support for UBI and UBIFS into u-boot. (This would allow the kernel image to be wear-leveled across the entire device).
UBI doesn't use the OOB section but still relies upon the ECC for error detection/correction from the MTD NAND layer. If the ECCs cannot agree between Linux and u-boot, then this is a bit of a showstopper (well, not completely, but it pollutes the code unnecessarily).
