it's not "suspect" as such: just not implemented because it's the wrong 
approach.
FTL's design assumes you can rewrite a word, flipping bits off (but never on),
to change a physical/logical map efficiently. fine with NOR, it allows that 
easily.
drivers for NAND would need to do something more costly to emulate that effect,
because the granularity is much larger, and the organisation and rules 
generally are different.
i don't think they bother (because it's not a good idea) so it probably 
wouldn't work.
