I am also not a great proponent of a substantial reduction of Core. Like
Jos I think a distro should be somewhat complete wrt the packages

reduced substantially.
There are two things that convince me that shrinking it below the 4CD
size we have now is not worthwhile
1. As several people pointed out DVD images are becoming the normal
thing now
2. Providing we keep the situation where you can download CD#1 and
do a minimal install the extra CDs are not a drag on broadband
users. The tools would benefit from some better group understanding
but thats a separate issue
Hmmm how about what is on CD#1 is CORE and everything else is extras ;)
