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</blockquote>
I think that we might need to ;)<br>
<br>
I don't think that everywhere gets the huge speeds one sees talked
about. <br>
<br>
As far as Europe is concerned, this bit of it isn't generally all
that good either (UK)<br>

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>
