Note that there are already Live DVDs and at least one (Games Spin) that is
limited by the 4 GiB iso size so as to be downloadable on FAT systems.

There is also a good chance that Squashfs will support lzma compression
by F13, which should be a noticeable help to spins up against their iso
size limits.
