[PATCH/RFC] Delete JFFS (version 1)



I have created the 'kill-jffs' branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git that 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.
