I guess we need to deal with stuff like block erase at the BIO layer. I know that in previous discussions it has been by suggested by others that GEOM isn't the right place for flash partitioning to be handled, I'm inclined to disagree, as it takes care of a lot of the rigmarole of creating device nodes for each slice, etc, but whoever gets it done, wins the argument, really.
