Great. Thanks for clearing things up.
I will offer my unsolicited opinion:
Charles has obviously expended great effort on yaffs2. He has a git repository hosting the code, and has expressed a desire to get the code fit for merging. For Tracey Dent to come along and hijack the entire effort, would anger me if I were in Charles' place.
Having used yaffs2 in the past, I would like to see the code in the kernel. Having it come via Charles would seem to make sense.
