What about starting with the DVD use case? What is the DVD good for, for who? How is it used? This will define what should be on the DVD media and what is just nice to have. I would like a much larger install image, like a double layer dvd, because upgrades are easier. But...
But then I think that the 4.7 GB DVD should remain available, because some times you really need a DVD (typically because you have some older machines that don't boot from a usb stick, like I do), and considering that double layer dvds are too expensive for casual burn.
So the normal size DVD must remain available, and the 9 gigs idea goes to the dustbin - unless you wish to generate both, which I doubt.

For my two-cents, many organizations forbid using USB memory sticks for security reasons. Yes, this is a MS Windows-centric rule, but it is what it is. There are also many install scenarios where network access isn't available. So a complete DVD is very important indeed. But would using multiple 4.7-GB DVDs be a long-term option? I recall, and may still have laying about somewhere, SuSE installs that came on a half-dozen CDs. All that being said, no one I know would miss seamonkey.
