Okay. Data-loss what what my brain thought, a sentence about integrity came out of my fingers. > more context-sensitive policy can be implemented by more context-aware > elements of the stack. That would be cool. But I think there would as many, maybe more, cases of batteries being removed, power cords yanked, and generators turning off causing shutdowns than low-battery issues. Also, a point wad made: the more writes you defer, the more memory is used to store them, on an already memory-constrained system. Not that I don't think UBIFS would be awesome, with an amount of tweaking to hit the sweet spot miniamsing memory usage, data-loss, and keeping write speed up, etc. Just thinking about the downsides.
