Hey Matthias,

While we are indeed not limited by a CD size we should not let the iso
freely drift because that has a cost (slower to download/install for
users, more bandwith use for our users, less space on the system to use,
etc).
Did anyone measure what difference with/without the png optimizer would
make on the iso/standard install? Without numbers we can't really decide
on the cost/benefit...

Cheers,
