Karanbir,
As the potential base of machines that might need the CD-ROM-sized ISOs shrinks, how about this as a viable alternative:
Distribute the DVD (single layer, two ISOs), and dual-layer DVD (one ISO) together with a script that would be able to split these into a set of CD-ROM-sized ISOs, and MD5/SHA1 checksums (perhaps based on the result of the same script run by CentOS group).
This would allow downstream mirrors (who might serve a different population of users) to still offer the smaller downloads to their users who do not have DVD-ROM drives, while reducing the need to store all the possible combinations at the main disribution and mirror sites serving the "majority" population.
Cheers!

we dont have CD images for the distro CentOS-6 ( just the minimal one ); and there has not been a huge uproar about it honestly, just a few people who mentioned it as inconvenient in passing.
