I haven't heard anyone say they are against having this yet.  The size
is being discussed but it is not blocking it from being added to the
CD.  I'm on dial-up and the time is not trivial to me but I still think
it is worth having the software on the CD for people that can't see the
screen.  I'm evening thinking a person could install Gentoo with no
monitor.  Like maybe a server or something.
