As far as I understand within the discussions, there was no or little common sense in placing the rpm's on the CDs. Please forgive me if I'm wrong, all FC guys did a tremendous job.
Can anyone JUST tell me how a "rpm -i some.rpm" knows that package someother.rpm is needed. I have tried before with --requires but that didn't do the trick. I might come up with a little script which tells the hierarchie on relationships, which can be used to differentiate the packages on the CDs in a more structured way, which might be of help for future FC distributions. These of course should only be handled for extras.

Technical package inter dependencies are quite complex, and social
dependencies (people use foo with bar even if they are technically
distinct) are worse.
I think if you actually try to do what you suggest you'll hit a wall
pretty soon. Or buy a dvd reader.
