I was actually looking around at the Woody netinst ISOs, and I was
pleasantly surprised to see that many were split into the different
kernel flavours. It's a lot easier to tell a user to "download this file
and burn it" than it is to tell them to type some particular command at
a prompt; marginally so, but it's still there.
More notable is that it's really apparent which kernel versions/flavours
are available. So I actually think that splitting them into multiple
flavours is a good thing in and of itself, totally aside from any space
constraints :)
(Summary: I'm not a d-i or debian-cd guy, but sure sounds like a good
idea to me.)
