It is common for iso size to be over the 700MB target size due to

developers and testers doing their work in virtual machines these days.
Therefore, iso size is not an issue. And bringing it back down to below
the 700MB size limit for CD is always aimed for for the final release(s).
And Michael Cronenworth, some of us (myself included) live in countries
where broadband is still way behind where it should be for the year
2010. Namingly where I live, Australia, where high speed b/band suitable
for network installs comes at a rather large cost. Therefore, we resort
to downloading images instead for convenience.
Problem is not an image (we will provide it in the future, forever), the issue
is size constraint - software grows faster and faster, we have more dependencies
etc. -> means less software on LiveCD...
