Manuel or another dev can probably comment on this further in terms of specific writes...

BUT, I can comment on real world usage. Nearly every flash device comes with a wear-leveling
mechanism to prevent single-flash-sector burnout from happening as quickly. I've got a few
installations of m0n0wall and pfSense on 256MB Sandisk CF cards that have been working flawlessly
for nearly two years with semi-regular monthly changes/updates. One of my personal systems at home
is using a similar card and has been working for the same amount of time but with constant (almost
daily) updates, reflashes, etc.
