Removing Glamo from GTA02 (Was: Welcome)

From my distribution activities, I would say that there are already
enough debug boards around for debricking (most bricked devices I have
seen just had a completely drained battery!). And there is a stable
boot loader available to be installed in factory. So if it saves money
for a GTA02--, this complexity should be simplified. GTA01 was already
good enough...
BTW: what about reflashing from SD card? I.e. insert SD card with some
specialy namedl files on it, press AUX and POWER for some seconds and
this flashes a kernel/rootfs image into NAND? If this works
sufficiently stable and robust, I would not even mind if the
bootloader is in ROM...
Or even more cost savings: remove both, the NOR and NAND flash and add
some ROM for a minimal SD boot loader. Then boot and operate from a
large high-quality SD card (operated like an SSD). It can't be ejected
during operation anyway. Every PC boots today from the main disk...
