I think there’s a middleground there that if you want to support these countries then there should be a framework for this (Flutter Lite?).. But if you want the complete feature set that is “bloated” but has good ux/ui support then that should be fine as well.

"these countries"? I've seen schools in the US with 15 mb/s My mothers, Xfinity, has a low tier, 25mb/s.

A lot of Australia is still stuck on ADSL with speeds of 5 - 20Mb if your lucky

(I'm the Flutter TL)

Our current plan is to support the complete feature set while still supporting places with connectivity around 5Mbit/s. We are still in very early stages (we only just put out the tech preview today!) but we have some confidence that this is possible. Personally I'm more worried about the performance of layout animations (e.g. resizing paragraphs) than about download size, but again, it's early days still.
