I like a combination between F4 and F5. Don't strip the packages now (F5) but strip each package on its next update. this way the last 2 (-) from F5 might be attenuated :D Aslo... having only en in the packages might get rid of F4 (-)
A custom system might be the best as it could handle only diffs and minimize the downloads people have to do.

On F6 I sugest using seven3 this way we'll have even more space on the CD :o)
