Basically all non en-US foreign language builds. Or your native language build. Stricktly speaking en-US is an l10n build too but the master here and building differently so we are not calling it l10n.

Not possible without modularized parts. And Firefox goes in a different direction with what they call Gecko today. This more or and more becomes a bloated mess mixing frontend browser parts with backend Gecko parts. Otherwise it would be easier to stay current.

They contain working versions of chatZilla, DOMi and Lightning. These should be in the official builds too but we have problems with l10n builds.

If you only do an en-US build this works fine. If you don't want calendar you can disable or remove it in the add-on manager.

I've often thought that, rather than having to download the "whole Box and Dice" package and then disable the undesired bits and pieces, perhaps, when I want to upgrade, I should be asked which bits I want to download (say Browser, M&N and addressbook ONLY whilst others might want M&N, Calendar and Chatzilla ONLY), effectively making a package just for me and another, different, package just for you, etc. In each case, the Core (Gecko??) would be downloaded once, and the other bits added as needs be.

But I'm guessing this would make the devs job a hell of a lot more difficult.
