Ok.  I'm comfortable with the desktop team making this decision for their
own images post-beta.  I just don't want us to be making a change that
impacts any other flavors post-beta without their buy-in.

So if we do it now, the process is:

 - invert the logic
 - compile a complete list of all flavors building livefses and add them to
   the opt-in list
 - send mail to ubuntu-release or something encouraging flavors to drop
   themselves from the opt-in list if they're comfortable with the change
 - wait forever for everybody to do this

If we wait until the opening of the cycle, the process can be:

 - invert the logic
 - add support for opt-in list but leave it empty by default
 - send mail to ubuntu-release letting flavors know about the change,
   encouraging them to leave everything as-is unless they have specific size
   problems

The latter seems preferable to me, but means we have to leave this bug open
for 2 more weeks :)
