So I wonder: should we screw the medium CD and go officially for 1GB sticks as our medium? (or require DVD medium for non-usb).
IMHO there is no need for a Live CD to be available for everybody, the only thing that needs consideration is whether an "install CD" is still needed.
There would still be the netinstall variant, would it not? So people can still download that and burn it to a CD to start from there.
Many people using the CD do so because of limited bandwidth. Those people could never use a network install.
They will have to download the data at some point, be it a CD image or net install. If they download the image somewhere else they might as well use a DVD or USB stick to transfer the files and do not need a CD either. So my point still stands, only those who combine all three properties of neither having a DVD drive, nor an USB port and on top of that a limited bandwidth will "suffer". The rest can either use a USB stick/DVD or the network to transfer data.
