Yeah mirroring is no good, if only RTL was so simple!
I've not heard anyone squawk about landing 3-5MB more, but I'm not
convinced that is a green light to just go ahead - based on the fallout
last time. I guess what I'll do is look into adding some support in the
FTU's build script to pick RTL or LTR and maybe a way to opt in to one or
the other or both to give us and partners options for our builds and
automation. If that turns out to be needless, well it will be easy to
remove.
