Any reason why Ubuntu just doesn't seem to make the switch to DVD based installation ISOs?
I end up burning the CD images on DVD anyway and would definitely prefer to have a larger selection of available packages on the installation media, even if I didn't end up installing some.

There are DVD ISOs made with exactly that, plus some extra goodies like Inkscape, GIMP, etc.
The limiting factor is really bandwidth. Fitting on a CD is just a nice clear line that can be used to prevent bloat.
Cd are cheaper for people to buy(and cheaper to give away).
