Comment (by jg):

 Hey, folks; we still don't have the mesh firmware in the firmware image.
 Boot over the net is really necessary to avoid having to have cables in
 the field.

 We don't yet know what the final size of the flash load will be; but it
 wouldn't surprise me if it ends up > .5 MB.

 This is even ignoring the (slight) cost savings we might make if we went
 back down from 1MB SPI flash to .5MB.
