It seems that you misunderstood my proposal. What I want is to add the
means for users to switch to another update provider. I never said that
Mozilla would have to be this provider and support the overhead you are
mentioning. Communities like cyanogenmod and xda have shown that there
is interest from a lot of people to do that.
