As an ambassador and former EMEA media wrangler I tend to agree. Currently both EMEA and NA only do dual layer DVDs, both for live and the installer. EMEA did separate installer vor i386 and x86_64, but after NA had no problems with exclusively providing dual layer, we decided to do the same. This being said I don't care how big we grow as long as we can still fit all 4 desktops (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE) in 2 arches each on one multi desktop live image. A dual layer DVD has a maximum capacity of 8.5 GB, so fitting 8 x 1 GB is not a problem. We might have to drop Sugar, but if only GNOME and KDE go for 1 GB and Xfce and LXDE still target 700 MB or less, we should even be able to keep it. This being said I am +1 for 1 GB, but please note that I only speak for myself or the NA and EMEA ambassadors.
