That's the communities choice.

My stance is simply that most people work with fine scale data, not 
broad scale data, and so have tailored my tutorials to demonstrate 
program use with what most people use.

As for size, if people did not want to include the data into the DVD, 
albeit the individual 5x5 kilometre sets only occupy between 19 - 69 MB, 
you can be easily downloaded a ZIP in less than 5 minutes.
