This issue does NOT occur on Flame 3.0 builds. The Flame does not have default apps like the Spark device.

Is this actually a homescreen problem? Is the homescreen responsible for whatever mechanism uninstalls these apps, or for whatever mechanism reinstalls them during OTA? Do Spark apps work differently to other apps somehow?

That's because when we apply the update, gecko merges the current app registry (that includes 3rd party installs) with the "system" one. So even if you uninstalled a default app before, it comes back during OTA. That's annoying indeed - we should try to keep track of removed system apps and not show them again.

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]: possible pain point for dogfooders, nominating for triage to review. Looks like Fabrice took care of the NI on Marty.
