I hope there would some effort to create an "MMC-direct" extension to the MMC/SD standards, allowing bypassing the FTL layer. Or at least giving the erase block sizes and other bits of information needed to to tune the filesystem to work on it optimally.

This would be especially useful for the eMMC storages that are soldered on board, and thus don't need FAT to be compatible to the world.
