I hope to occasionally push back a little against this. When LZMA squashfs
makes it upstream (it looks like it won't happen in time for F14) we will
probably gain about 10% on what we can fit in a given size image. Another
change that could happen is droppong the embedded ext3 image and use squashfs
directly. (Selinux should now be usable on squashsfs file systems.) That
might gain us a bit more space.

Also looking forward, USB drives are less limited in space and faster
(especially seek time) than spinning disks and make more sense for live
images in many circumstances.
