Yes, a 1.4.3 would be good - Thanks.
So just to be clear: That patch got added between 1.4.1 and 1.4.2.

Commit a8801d8 (unify flash_erase and flash_eraseall) changed the flash_erase interface in a backwards incompatible way. Before that commit start position was given in bytes, and now it must be provided in blocks. While I agree the new interface is nicer, we shouldn't break the interface. I have scripts that expect the old behaviour, and I'm most likely not alone, so change the interface back to the old way.
