It would be nice if some kind of "emergency menu" be available where
the user would either return to a previous good state (e.g. a file
system image previously saved in a MMC) or at least allow to run some
tasks to free space or defragment/fsck the JFFS2 partition (if that is
possible).

If that does already exist (even as a community tool), I'd like to
know about it :)
