There's no need for the current light build to be the one that ships: it'd be simple to expand and specialize it a bit more to align with what's needed by the Leaflet/Google Maps usecase.<div><br></div><div>Tom<br>

The light build with the current lite configuration would be useless<br>
for most users. As Tom says, many people won't be able to use the<br>
python based build tool, and what then happens is much worse than<br>
people using a full build: they'll be using the debug loader or the<br>
hosted version from <a href="http://openlayers.org" target="_blank">openlayers.org</a>.<br>
<br>
So I'm -1 on shipping a light build.<br>
