IMO it could be removed eighter way.

The user that knows how to use Muon (Package Manager), knows how to use 
apt-get and he/she can install it via apt-get if desired.

My question is: does it really take up that much space that it needs to 
be removed?
Since the ISO can't be written on a 700MB CD, I guess the user would use 
a DVD or a flash drive. So far, for 13.10 the iso is ~1GB, that means 
that the user needs a flash drive of at least 2GB (assuming that a 1.5GB 
flash drive does not exist).

Maybe I missed something in this conversation.
Are we aiming for a 1GB iso? or smaller?
