I'm in favor of this too but if it's a core feature (i.e. SIM card

this should be explained in the wiki,
Agree, APU boards etc also need some extra packages to support SDcards
and things. Let's do this.
OTOH, this differs a bit from such packages, by being needed to connect
to WAN on such devices. This is the same way as uqmi does on some -
removing it would require other Internet connection to bootstrap its
installation.
Yep, removing the comgt package from the firmware sounds like an
anecdote from the 90's: The modem driver is on CD, the CD-ROM driver
on the Internet.

OTOH, Arjun has been trying to draw attention to the patch for comgt
for a year. And no one reacted to his quite reasonable fix.

My thoughts exactly.
Also, I realized that removing comgt would render the device requiring it unable to reestablish WAN connection also after sysupgrade - which is a no-brainer for me. My custom builds carry a very similar patch for a few years now, and Arjun's patch looks very reasonable to me - maybe I shall test it in my builds very soon, and provide feedback, as I'd like to see it merged as well.
