Many of us, including myself, are also using the ts devices in production.

Sometimes it's hard to use only a specific linux kernel. I was all for 
using the 2.6.19, but then because of the changes in the block device 
structures I could not longer patch against 2.6.19 with the yaffs code. 
Since the yaffs people have started moving towards the newer structures, 
I was forced to move as well. Although I would have happily stayed at 
2.6.19, so I hear your woes.

If you re-format the flash to use jffs or j2ffs then that would probably 
allow you to stick with 2.6.18, but it will also mean that you'd have to 
manually patch for all future code improvements to the rest of the 
relevent space in your kernel.
