> So is the plan to ship two builds in the release archive, a full build and a light build? That sounds good to me. I wonder if we should also provide a mobile-specific build. And yes, we'll need to provide some text file in the release archive to describe what these builds are and provide, and how to create custom builds.

Just a matter of taste but I think we should promote the use of the light and the custom build.
I'd like to see:
 - «OpenLayers.js» as the light build,
 - «OpenLayers.FULL.js» as the complete build

And use in OL website the light «OpenLayers.js» whenever it’s possible.

PS: thanks Bart for bringing the discussion here.
