> Currently, it's absolutely doable to get very small bundle size (<7-8KB) for a hello-world application. This, however, relies on private APIs. We haven't made them public yet, because not many folks are building hello world apps, but in the future we'll be exploring how to reduce the footprints of the framework even further for smaller apps.

This answer doesn't quite cut it. Every project starts out as an "hello world" type application. How do you audit the cost of each additional package if you didn't even start out with a "small bundle size" from the beginning?

I believe you guys have made great strides and I appreciate your efforts immensely. I wish you the best of luck, I hope you're able to actually address the large size of deployment in a meaningful fashion.
