I wouldn't base decisions on it yet.

However, I don't, personally, much care how packages are divided among
CD's, as long as the first one contains everything of priority Standard
and above, including everything they depend on, and most of what they
recommend, so that it is easy to get a basic system running without
switching CD's all the time. As long as the rest of the packages are on
the CD's, it shouldn't matter much.
