Well using a DVD if you intend to burn has always been a good idea.
You get better seek times for free (empty dvd costs little to no more
then a cd now days).
As for your "exotic" CD sizes ... the likelihood of the user having a
DVD burner or BIOS that could just boot from USB media is way higher
then a burner that can deal with them.

So I'd just opt for not worrying about CDs anymore. The only real
argument for CD sized images is download time but using Fedora without
a proper internet connection is no fun anyway (updates) so not sure
that matters either ...
