This is silly. I haven't seen bug reports about packages not fitting in diskettes, and it would not make any sense if they were filed! =). The world moved on, CDs are getting too small. It's a technical limitation which can be overcome by using the network, or bigger media, such as DVDs. While I think blacklisting the package for CDs is a pragmatical decision, making the package smaller should be just desirable, not a (specially RC!) bug.
