For those of you who don't know him, Scott Kveton is leading the efforts to bring our distribution infrastructure up to the capabilities we need to exist in the world of massively popular software titles :-)
Today, Scott blogs some ideas on incremental updates and improving our distribution model. Give him a read, and if you haven't yet, grab his feed. Good stuff over there.

Scott's ideas don't look to me very different to suggestions that have been made before. Effective incremental updates means (according to previous comments from developers) doing a lot of work on the architecture of Firefox binaries, and they implied that it wasn't worth their time. I can't see anyone outside the core devs being a position to do that work, so unless Scott has or can change their minds...
