I'm afraid I don't understand that. Do you have a pointer to some
details?

Hm, wow! (IANAKD, can't comment on this).

We do want to ship with the world's most common languages, and we
currently spend mabye 30 MB of CD size for that. It varies between
releases, we just fill up CDs with however many langpacks fit to fill
it up.

Ideally a default Ubuntu installation has all fonts to display
everything. We have to compromise a bit and move some out to
language-support, but recently we already cleaned up fonts, and I
don't think we ship 90 MB worth of (compressed) CD space.

> 5. Remove DiveIntoPython on default installation (~80MB)

This package needs 1 MB on the CD, not 80.

Hm, where do you take these numbers from? RB is 3.8 MB, banshee is 2
(again, compressed).  Removing Sound juicer and Serpentine would be
great, of course, RB now supports burning CDs; not sure about reading
them.
