    I'd say just go for the liveDVD and not worry about the CD at all.  We
    would still be releasing the basic CD version, but I've always also
    wanted to release a DVD version that included the full source tree
    (for posterity) and as many packages as it is possible to stuff in
    there, possibly even pre-installed and ready to run.

    Even with compression there are serious limits to what can be stuffed
    onto a Live CD, and I don't think it is really worth the effort for
    an 'X' edition.

    This would also create a good distinction between the base CD and the
    X edition.  People would know that the 'X' edition was DVD-only and
    had just about everything in it.
