So all iso images generated and released have hard limits on their
size. For a long time the hard limit was of "what a standard CD-ROM
size is" which is ~700MB (+- bikesheding about unit sizes and how much
extra buffer is writable).
After extensive discussions the limit got raise a little to ~800MB for
Ubuntu Desktop, and some official flavours also followed suite
(Xubuntu ?!). I think Ubuntu Server and Lubuntu still have "CD" size
limit.

One can check size limits warnings on the ISO tracker, e.g.:
