 The ISO at http://spinner.fedoraunity.org/revisor/rawhide-i386-live-
 desktop-default-respin/ is 810M, too large for a CD

Comment (by petersen):

We could (will) save a considerable amount of space after getting rid of
 the lang support groups from fedora-livecd-desktop-default.ks: I still
 ready wish we did this for f10...

Part of the goal for the desktop livecd is to be as universal as
possible - this means supporting as many languages as possible.

As a side benefit, it avoids us having to host 20 language spins
by default.

I agree this was our original position and the reason for the language 
support groups to be included.

This particular argument does not have as much weight as we haven't and 
most probably won't ever host localized spins ourselves (e.g. on Fedora 
Project Infrastructure), rather then getting the localized spin 
kickstart configuration files out there and potentially offering a 
tracker for a torrent hosted by peers outside our own infrastructure, 
but again there is no real precedent for this. Not having had a 
precedent yet also leaves us with questions about where the initial 
compose should run and whether initial distribution to seeds would need 
to happen from within the Fedora Project Infrastructure as a consequence.

I hope ^ makes sense ;-)
