Actually, the cost of having multiple overlapping choices cost more
then just the storage are and build time.
It cost user confusion (which CD should I fetch), and documenteation
effort (hopefully the answer to the question "which CD should I
fetch"). It also cost the distributors extra effort, as they would
like to have both kinds of CDs in stock to be able to give those that
ask for it the CD they want.
For all these logistic reasons I believe we should have as few CD sets
as possible. 50 MB of extra storage isn't worth the extra confusion
and hassle.
