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.
