One of the reasons put forward for switching to Xfce was size on the
installation images; could you (and/or debian-cd) address this?
Specifically: 1) Would you want the default CD/DVD image to use a GNOME
even if GNOME was unable to fit on a single image? 2) Would the GNOME
team consider a less-complete DE for cases where image size is a
restriction?
