Thanks. But I'd like to wait a bit - Shmulik's point is fair and the
current way UBI reserves PEBs is probably not the right thing to do. If
we are going to change it, I'd like to have this patch to go together
with that change. Just because it is better to change the default
behavior once, than 2 times, to possibly upset/surprise users less
times :-)
