i choose 8gb because its common and because we dont have anything
working to resize the rootfs. smaller images make the processes faster,
bigger makes for a more usable out of box experience
It's easier to put a SD card larger than 4gb in a standard workstation
and use something like gparted to increase the size manually than it
is to decrease it. There's a lot of users that have 4gb cards because
a class 10 4gb card is really cheap. I would prefer to see us use the
smaller size rather than the larger size as in all cases it's easier
to increase the size rather than decrease.
