I bet nobody noticed that this eventually exceeded the size of a CD, or people forgot that "disc" meant CD. I agree that the "disc" images should fit on CDs, and the "dvd" images should fit on DVDs. Probably "disc" should be renamed "cd". Maybe it's time to rethink that whole set of images for optical disks and flash memory devices, decide how many and which ones are worth maintaining. In everybody's copious free time.
