Some points:
" This means that a user's device when initially provisioned ends up with all 
five APNs."

Will this at least make it work for the user? Besides having extra APNs
that are not needed.

"What should have happened is that we should've discussed the details of
giffgaff's MVNO arrangement with O2 and added 'mvno_type' and
'mvno_data' based upon this information. If this had been done, then
users with giffgaff SIMs would only get the giffgaff APNs provisioned."

Don't know how easy is to do that, but we can try, for sure.

"Furthermore, these new APNs were added to the end of the file, instead
of being inserted inline with the other APNs that specify the same
mcc/mnc."

This was on purpose, as it's then easier to merge back changes from AOSP
(helps reducing the amount of conflicts).

"The change to apns-conf.xml was reviewed, but not actually tested..."

What would the test show up here? Would it at least connect to one of
the APNs available in there?

Also, I also took this change because a similar one is also available in 
CyanogenMod:
<apn carrier="giffgaff" mcc="234" mnc="10" apn="giffgaff.com" user="giffgaff" 
password="password" mmsc="http://mmsc.mediamessaging.co.uk:8002"; 
mmsproxy="82.132.254.1" mmsport="8080" type="default,supl,mms" />

This is a common issue on Android as well, and it all goes back to the
point of being able to define or not the mvno_type/data.

In case this entry wasn't there, would just using the APN editor help
reducing the amount of APNs selected? If so, I'd vote removing this from
the database.
