I am in the process of doing away with SoftDelete in yaffs2 mode of operation
for the very same reason.

The SoftDelete mechanism is valuable in the yaffs1 mode of operation because
yaffs1 uses a programming operation to set the deletion marker. Soft deleting
does not set deletion markers and therefore saves some overhead(that's why it
was introduced).
