David, by build size, you mean the size of the built packaged zip
files, of the original source files?

I am updating the Traditional Chinese IME which will increase the
zip'ed size by ~1mb (bug 908577). When enabled, the IndexedDB backend
of the IME will create results a 18mb sqlite in the profile. When
removed the zip'ed size is reduced by 2.3mb.

Removing the Simplified Chinese IME saves about 600kb (zip'ed).

Drivers, do we have a hard limit of the build size on any particular devices?

I hope that when we ship 3rd-party keyboard framework, eventually, we
should be able to split these keyboards into different keyboard apps,
not preloading them, and make them available on Marketplace (just like
Firefox spell check dictionaries).

Alternatively, if we hit the hard limit before that, we would need to
make the build script of keyboard app configureable (I hope not).
