Would it be conceivable to differentiate TINY, or better LOW_MEM and SMALL_FLASH independently (TINY being a build subtarget), per release ?

Ratio being that the demands on storage and memory grow with each release. So some device might in release 19.07 fall in the generic subtarget, but in 20.xx in TINY (and in 22.xx in SOURCE-ONLY).

Regards,
Paul
