in fact, i made some space for a working kernel-aodv, but for now
people is just using WDS, as it seems enough for little networks
(altough it has already shown to be really inefficient), the point is
that when people has something working, it's hard to change (and the
insertion of kaodv was thought as a way to rute an ad-hoc little
backbone)

and a plan-for-the-future is to try to put bird with OSPF and
(sepparatedly) BGP support, time will tell... (did no size tests)

but in fact, other boxes with more memory are on the market, with
possibilities to be reflahsed (i'm not very informed about this, as i
don't have one of these :))

i'm surely not going to do it, as i don't have any knowledge on this :)
and my comment wasn't to make people think on adding anything, but to
point that it might be useful, although there's, as you pointed out, the
problem of flash space
