Only thing we need to make sure is that people wipe their old modules or else system will just baloon up.
Also because the recovery is only 8mb, we will only have room for 1 extra kernel in there.. ohh well.. better than nothing

Couple of easy fixes there. We can make recovery 16 MB or something larger if you'd like. It can come from cache or from data.
For modules, I think very very few people will be wanting to hold onto their old kernel once they upgrade, but if they do, we could require a sd card for that. Just move them into a tgz on the sd card using the old uname as the name so that the kernel can grab its appropriate modules
