Would an 'erase' command make sense to add to newt? I always end up
firing up JLinkExe to erase my chips, which is easy enough, but being
able to do something like 'newt erase' might be useful as a faster
solution without having to lookup the connection string and part ID
every time and for every chip.

This will be very useful. I think we've tackled all the breaking changes
in our own codebase, but having them all in one place will help make
sure we didn't miss any interesting new features. 0.10.0 is a really
nice improvement, though. I'm impressed at how much you guys got into
this release, and how much it's improved the system overall!

I created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-482 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-482>
What I usually do is I start ‘newt debug’, and then issue flash erase
commands via gdb. Which is not too bad either.
