Yeah, that's where I was going, a single global cd is tricky in the long
run even excluding OOo. We currently get away with it because we're not
generally massively translated, except for poor OOo, and even there I'm
already skipping building about 18 languages which don't have any have
existing support in the rest of our desktop e.g having no available free
fonts to display the language or it would be the only translated
application into that language. I'd well imagine that if the existing
set of software gets translated to the same extent that we'd have
trouble fitting in onto a cd :-(

Most companies have the luxury of a formal or informal big 7 or big 12
language policy, and e.g. Dzongkha and Irish can forget about being
supported. I guess the ideal solution for something like fedora would be
a set of regional cds, though I'm not enthusiastic about actually
contributing constructively and doing the work :-)
