Overburning isn't something that you want to try to support.  We have
enough problems with flaky drives and media burning 700 meg images as it
stands :(

And "just add another image" is actually a pretty expensive proposition
in terms of hosting, testing, etc.  And it then isn't entirely obvious
how a user is going to know what the "right" thing to download is.
