Sounds like a consensus.  It is a good idea also because I shrunk the
current image in size and now we have 3, rather than one, so I say lets
do it.  We really probably have room for more too, so if we decide to do
it again, I think one more can fit within the size of our old one.

I agree with that.
I do think to avoid feature creep, etc... it is a great idea to continue
to try to get it close to CD size.
Plus we also want to take into account people with bad internet
connections and costly ones as well.
The less bandwidth we take the better!

It absolutely is, you can also install from a tarball on an external USB

I hope to keep it at 1 GiB as the max (and much smaller than that)
