No matter what, disc#1 has a finite amount of space and it's going to be
impossible to come up with a combination of packages that keeps everyone
happy.  Sooner or later, "popular" comes down to somebody's judgement.

To see what's currently in the package split, look at 
src/release/scripts/print-cdrom-packages.sh (for whatever branch 
interests you).  Note that in addition to the packages listed there, we 
also need to put all of their dependencies on disc#1 as well.  These 
dependencies likely account for a lot of the "small packages and 
ones that are not popular seem to make in on the first CD".

(FYI, the 5.0-RC3 package set occupies 339MB of a 560MB ISO image.)

Bruce.
