Shouldnt the whole size be decreased as much as possible? Why "burn" (permanently) an image of software that will be out of date with in months, if not less?
Save CD/DVDs, bandwidth and time by leaving users to choose the packages they want when the get their basic OS setup, and leave in only packages which are good for nice and smooth installation and GUI for those who need it. |

The only time using the packages on disk is really worth while is right near the release, or when you desperately need something from it. My old SOP used to be to do a custom install of FreeBSD, than add the cvsup package via sysinstall before going to work on "Pre-boot" configuration.
It's more practical to grab KDE/Gnome from ports or pkg_add, in most cases. There's just not that many tools on the disk sets, outside of the base, that are gonna help you paddle down !@#$ creek.

This has been the case since 8.0 (or 7.2, don't remember).
