I posted in (my attempt to seperate some of the issues) in the 650MB ISO
thread that the results were:

Fine with 700MB ISOs: 80%
Can't use 700MB ISOs: 10%
Don't lke 700MB ISOs: 10%

The poll may not be that representative, since only about 400 members
voted. But 80 members is still a lot of unhappy customers.

Anyway, I have made an entry for 650MB ISOs in the RPM Voting for 9.1, to
get more attention for the issue. Currently number 32 with 15 votes.
