That's what I've done--reduced FC to one CD. This makes it easy for folks to download & hand out. I got tired of burning 3+ CDs each time I wanted to spread a copy. It still has gnome, xfce, firefox, gimp, abiword, etc., plus some FreshRPMS/Dag packages (inkscape, scribus, mplayer, ...). All -devel packages, KDE, OOo, & developer tools are removed from the CD, but in the repository. There's a DVD version that has everything though. I'm not suggesting Fedora do this... But perhaps Fedora could move the -devel & devel tools to the last CDs so people wouldn't have to download as large of a set. This would make it easier for book/magazine publishers too. Developers know yum... -Jeff ftp://ftp.blagblagblag.org/pub/BLAG/linux/30000/en/iso/
