I have created the 'kill-jffs' branch of

removes fs/jffs.

I argue that you can count the users (who aren't on 2.4) on one hand,
and developers don't seem to have cared for it in ages.

People are already talking about jffs2 replacements, so I propose we zap
jffs in 2.6.21.

I'm usually all for killing broken code, but JFFS isn't really broken
is it?  Is there some burden it's causing by being in the kernel at
the moment?
