I read a lot about people not worrying too much about v2.2 moving to DVD sized media, however this is one of the things that I thought really made the distro stand out. The fact that so much functionality and style could still fit on a CD-R was just mindblowingly cool. Not to mention the fact that LL is gearing toward older hardware. I have a few machines that still have CD-R drives and not DVD drives. I have installed LL on friends old laptops with CD-Rom units. Some of these computers do not even have the ability to adjust the BIOS to boot from USB, so CD-Rom is the only choice.
For the web browser, absolutely a full fledged browser should be included with it. Chrome is the best choice not only for the netflix reason, but the fact that it integrates flash. With Firefox you need to have the Adobe Flash plugin (and old v11 at that) installed in order to play flash video. With Chrome it is built into the browser, and is a much newer version (v15) to boot. So, which is lighter? Chrome takes less to do more. Maybe removing Firefox and the flash plugin will free up some space
