Thats a good point, I should look into the constant write problem.
I was thinking in an embedded platform for its costs, low space, low
power consumption
and disk less operation.
I suspect that most folks would probably wind up using the system as a
paperweight long before the CF has degraded unless you were doing
extremely write intensive tasks with it. The newer flash parts claim to
have an "endurance" of millions of writes and and MTBF of millions of
hours. Granted, I wouldn't use them to store index files for my usenet
feed, but that's a LOT of writes. :) And given how the prices of CF
are dropping like a stone, you could always pre-emptively rotate new
parts in and use old ones in your digital camera/etc.
