I'd love to see Core on 1-2 CDs plus optional Extras CDs.  A basic set
of Extras ISOs could be made available at each release.  Basically, put
the core OS on 1 CD then everything else (servers, development,
multimedia, etc) on optional CDs 2,3,4,5...

Maybe even provide a tool to generate custom ISOs from a YUM repository
for selected packages and their dependencies.  For example, one could
make new/updated Extras CDs between major releases.  (Or create
fedora-updates CDs.)
