Not space on medium, but amount to download. Why should somebody download
8gigs worth for an install that would fit on one/two CDs?
If download size is the overriding issue, we should think about beefing
up repotrack and publishing recommended configs for its use for various
cases - if the differences in emphasis and audience for desktop and
server are the issue, we'd probably want to think beyond a pared down
package set.
