Actually it's quite hard to find 1GB USB Keys (I've personally tried to buy 1GB pen drives precisely to fit LiveUSBs of different distros). Having said that, I agree about increasing the limit, but we should always have in mind that not everyone has fast Internet access, so it's always good to keep the size as small as humanly possible.
