The two counter-arguments seem to be:

I haven't followed the thread of (1), but it's a separate issue as to
whether syslinux is worth the extra space, even if it's small. In any case,
custom builds are always free to include or not include syslinux. If you
don't like what's on the base DVD, build your own--that's the whole point of
this list.
Yes, thank you for showing how exactly not concerned you are about the
requirement on network
and not being able to use the DVD ISO for Fedora livecd-tools testing is to you.
I am glad you and Bruno both see the syslinux issue to be an issue
which I can rectify myself if I woanted.
I know I can, the fact it it would benefit many other people.
You guys need to get over yourselves.
I don't accept (2). Obviously any change needs thorough testing,
but there
are procedures for that, that's what rawhide is for, and we even have a list
(this one) where people can get additional help. Like anything else, it
won't see the light of day (stable repos) if it doesn't work properly.
livecd-tools doesn't work properly already, and it is in stable repositories.
Try again.
