I generally dislike the idea of a modular Gecko builds. We sometimes
have problems because RIL is optional. Testing all the different
combinations will become a QA nightmare as the number of individual
modules increases. If Gecko's size is a problem, we should first try to
shared more code between Gecko features. I feel that there's still
potential.
If only the size of the OTA is a problem, we might be able to send out a
binary diff of the changes, which is applied to the existing files on
the device. Creating the diff file would require patch tools that
understand ELF binaries.
