We made this Beta not Alpha in the criteria on purpose, specifically
because we don't think it's a significant enough problem if the lives
are over-size at Alpha stage. It *may* be worth requiring at least the
DVD to meet size requirements at Alpha size, although even if it's over,
you can still test it in a VM or with a USB stick. I definitely think we
shouldn't make the live sizes mandatory at Alpha.
