*Flash optimizations*
 
exFAT contains a few features that, according to Microsoft, makes it
flash-friendly:
 
    * Boundary alignment for filesystem structures. The offsets for the
FAT and the cluster heap is adjustable at format time, so that writes to
these areas will happen in as few flash blocks as possible.
    * An "OEM parameters" field can be used to record features such as
block size of the underlying storage. One single type for flash storage
is pre-defined.[41]
    * The lack of a journal, so that less data is written. (Although
FAT32 also lacks a journal.)

But no wear-levelling. That seems a rather important omission. Which those
Linux filesystems have.
