Since there is no seek time for flash, there can't be a fragmentation issue in the same sense as for rotating media. There's a wear leveling issue, in that infrequently-changed data will cause wear to be unevenly distributed. But I think that's just a matter of having software in the flash device periodically move unchanged data around. It should not require host intervention.
