Since in core repo are how many GigaBytes of packages and you have 700MB of 
space on a CD. Are you seriously asking why one package isn't included in the 
CD?
I don't say, this special package shouldn't be included, but it wasn't. In 
this case you could say: shit happens...
But do you have any idea how hard it is to select the right packages for 
having as much features as possible and still staying under 700MB?

To be honest, what are you doing about those issues you are naming on the 
lists, besides complaining about them?
