Let's be realistic: 'trying to optimize that to be as small as possible'
only happens when we have a limit and start hitting it. Was anyone
checking and splitting out dependencies, tweaking the package set, and
looking for unnecessary data to cut out *before* we were filing bugs on
the size? Nope, no-one was.

I'm not saying there must be a limit, but I know what's going to happen
if there isn't one, don't kid yourself: limitless sprawl, and no-one's
going to bother about size reductions.

As noted in my previous message, we are in fact still targeting optical
media with the live images: the multi-live DVD image.
