I've been wondering, why the recent change to using "dvd1" in the names
of the full CD images?  These *are* CD, not DVD images, aren't they?
The misnomer is more than a little misleading, and could easily cause
people some difficulties.

Or am I missing something here?

They are ISOs. You can burn them to either a CD or a DVD, since they are 
small enough to fit on a CD.
