Don't forget about Dual-Layer DVDs which has basically twice as much storage capacity as two Single Layer DVDs... and a 7GB .iso should fit on a DL DVD just fine.  The physical media that Fedora distributes is actually a DL disk that has both 32/64-bit flavors of 5 or so desktop spins... and you can install any of them from that one DL DVD.

I wouldn't think so.  Debian used to produce CD and DVD images for their entire package base... and Debian ended up being 50+ CDs... but who really downloaded all of that and who would want to mirror it?  Fedora gave up producing media for everything some time ago.
