Bandwidth caps are definitely a concern here as well, we wouldn't
want somebody to reach their limit because they download Xubuntu.
Considering I've known software developers whose only personal
internet connection was an LTE hotspot, this is definitely possible.<br>
<br>
Also, in the US, while there is movement on trying to improve
things. Currently, the way that the country is spread out, many
people don't have access to anything over 10Mb/s due to being in
rural areas. The only reason I bring this up is that download speed
should only not be a concern if we only wish to target those in
urban environments and first world nations.<br>

Download times are an argument for keeping as small as
possible; the smaller our ISOs are, the less time they take to
download. Of course, if something is considered essential,
then it can be added, but the starting point should be to not
include anything that isn't essential.<br>

Well, basicly you're right of course. But if i'm looking to
europe, the last defined internet connection bandwith at home by
the european commission was 4 mbit. This was somewhere 2006. 2014
the european commission upgraded the target size to 30mbit(!) for
a average internet connection at home.<br>
I think we don't need to talk bandwith in north america or for
example japan. Well, about africa, i have to admit, i have no
sizing ideas.<br>
<br>
What i'm trying to say is, that is internet bandwith is growing
very fast and we're at a point, where we should looking forward
and no longer backward. Yes, you'll find special cases with a
small internet connection always, but the most of them (>90%)
shouldn't have a big problem if the iso size up to 2 GB.<br>
<br>
Yes, i'm voting for a "somewhat" below 2 GB iso size. <br>
