About 2-3 CDs and reasonable timely updates for security issues, no further support and no dead-tree docs. Or something like Mandrake's "Discovery Edition". I remember this came up around RHL6.2 already, with pretty much the same reasoning: Some people just need the media and the updates, no more. However, by now I think it's obvious, that those folks are not (or no longer) the target audience for Red Hat - which is a valid choice for them to make.
