Who decides about backporting or not backporting dosfstools 4.2 to Dunfell?
I can only stress again that a large number of devices in the wild are currently running on FAT boot partitions, and come with a dosfschk version that likes to destroy these boot partitions.

That would be Steve. It's best if you cherry-pick the needed patches into current dunfell tip, and send them here with [dunfell] prefix, adding the rationale to the commit messages.

Yes, please cherry-pick the required patches onto dunfell and send to
the list with as much justification as possible (and highlight any
downsides).  SInce this may result in failures in other layers I want
this proposed change to get as much review as possible.

Thanks!

Steve
