IIRC, extra space on the CF card would allow for remapping of failing or
no longer writable areas. If this is the case, it would certainly
improve the longevity of the storage medium.

The better kinds of CF cards supposedly do their remapping themselves,
invisible to the user. Adding another layer of remapping in the Apple
card's firmware wouldn't seem to be very useful in that case.


Yes, I meant the card doing the remapping and not the firmware.
