Well, OpenWRT doesn't even officially support devices with less than 16Mb of flash anymore: https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_16128

> The rest of flash was used for persistent storage, bootloaders, and calibration data.

So you couldn't spare around 1Mb of compressed flash or 2Mb of uncompressed flash for systemd?

> This is very common for older routers and APs which is the whole reason that OpenWRT exists.

That hasn't been the case in quite some while.

And it won't matter anymore, there is no price difference between 32Mb and 64Mb NOR or NAND flash. It's literally the same cost.
