1. The guaranteed lifetime is 300,000 write cycles. Unless you put swap
on CF, it is unlikely to expire soon even with development being conducted
on it.
2. kfs is too slow (disk operations are unbuffered) to be used with CF. Installation
itself takes forever.
3. fossil is fine, I have a 400 Mb partition on a 512 Mb Toshiba (Kingston-labeled)
CF; the speed is acceptable.

Time will show; unless i'm wrong with my calculations, I have a few years
of use it as my main filesystem. Time will show.
