We might want to build our own OpenLayers, by not including some of the

static files (which the normal WMF servers do not, since its done in PHP).
I'm not sure whether it's already possible to load parts of OpenLayers on
demand, e.g. in the case where we decide to load Google maps instead of OSM
maps.
A patch can be submitted to OpenLayers to support different mode options,
to load only some JS if only some map modes are supported on a particular
website.
We can use OpenLayers Build Profiles to generate a single js file that
includes just the portions we need. I can take a more detailed look at
this, see if it works as-is to meet our needs. Or we can submit
improvements to that portion of the main OpenLayers code, if needed.
