Another alternative, for something like CB is that you could have an initial install you'd need to do for any CB app to run, and that would be the big one, once that was done, everyone else could just have the relatively small bits they need. It does have the disadvantage that an app would not be a single self contained package, and I think you'll actually find that folks would prefer that, even if it means downloading 5MB instead of 100k.
Especially if it means they'll have to worry about updating the main worker and the smaller apps independently. Could be enough of a hassle to make it not worth doing.
