Less Than 50 000K IS "OK"
FWIW - I'll vote to maintain the original idea - less then 49(ish) MB
Because:- ;it maintains support and improves faster by:- ;not forking development ;continuing improvement on an existing model (build excellence from good) ;continuing support for the current users/user profile
;it provides a base for other "tiny" distros (eg, USB, embedded) - which further strengthen support for DSL.
;it can already provide easy "customisation" to a larger "install" in a choice of ways - that it IS a choice strengthens support for DSL.
;further possible improvement to the <50Mb DSL allowing enhanced choice in size by means of user customisation (alllowing DSL to focus on DSL...) will increase support for DSL.
To make the DSL standard larger than current would reduce the number of possible applications to DSL - not increase, as has already been noted, larger, full-blown Live distros abound...
Increased support/use for the small DSL will only make it faster, more stable, more configurable, allow a greater range of choice in customisations, and easier to customise for lovers of "larger" "installs".
