Is it possible to load script(BRS) files from remote server

I am working on writing Media Analytics Module for my Roku application and I wanted clarification on whether I can load certain script (BRS) files from my server?

    One great use case for doing this is to be able to make a lot of changes to your public Roku channel without needing to ever submit it to RokuQA for re-certification.

    Which is something which you absolutely, positively should not do. That's like structuring/smurfing bank deposits, so that IRS does not catch a whiff of tax evasion.

    Regarding downloadable component libraries, it sounds good in theory but i heard through the grapevine there are some issues.
