Also, G1G1v1 shipped with the old Sugar interface, which made managing
large numbers of installed Activities very difficult.  By contrast, the
new Sugar UI means that we could easily ship 100 Activities, with only 15
starred by default.  Activities' average size on disk varies
substantially, but many simpler ones are only about 100 KB, compressed.
100 Activities * 100 KB = 10 MB, or 1% of the disk.  Each additional
Activity provides more opportunity for exploration, and makes the
experience more enjoyable, so I would advocate for shipping as many as
possible.
