What do people think about increasing the size limits on our ISO's, we
currently have a 1GB limit set, but that is pretty arbitrary and was
mainly intended so the image would fit on 1GB usb key. That seems like a
somewhat dated requirement these days, with usb keys much cheaper and
for the most part probably much bigger than 1GB.
15.04 (vivid) images, just broke the limit, but the only way to get them under
would have been to remove the kde atk (accessibilty) libs, which
the debian maintainer is dead set against, so we didnt.
This cycle we be adding the getting start tour and probably a few other bits,
so seems like a hard task to get back under 1GB again. fwiw Ubuntu
Vanilla was also 1.1GB for vivid.
I see no problem with increasing the image size as absolutely needed.
The only reason I use the word "absolutely" is because many people have
monthly download limits.
When it comes to flash drive price I haven't bought anything smaller
than 8GB in some time because the price is nearly the same as that for a
4GB drive. A quick Google search shows that 1GB drives are still
available but nearly the same price as 2GB drives, and for about US
$1.50 more you can jump up to an 8GB drive.
