I'd like to break CD limit too but we should not forgot there are users
for which CD is top technology from dreams and we have a lot of these
users among some countries... For me personally CD is history, even
DVD, same 1 GB flash drive. We can afford it. But some people can't
and are our users thanks to the ability to get a cheap OS, that can
run on cheap HW and is still modern.
The question is - how many people will be affected? Or should we
provide some fallback option - stripped down CD media size image? And
make the bigger one primary one?
Even if all of your objections are true, and who knows, they might be:
we already do provide alternatives. The Live media is not the only
install media.
