Actually, I was advocating removing the telnet server package from the
Live CD not because of its size footprint but simply that I see it as
unnecessary.  Certainly I could imagine someone setting up accounts on
a booted Live CD and then wishing to enable access via telnet but that
seems unlikely.  And if someone really wants to do that, they can use
the included SSH server instead.
