 from werner's explanation i understand why it is designed so, sd being the  
preferred storage.
yet, i think it's a flaw not to support jffs2 -- but that's just my  
opinion.
using the u-boot env as surrogate /boot/append*, as springs to mind and  
was suggested, sounds like a good idea -- but the beauty of the  
/boot//append* file is of course its easy access and modification.
