Bug Description

A normal CD-R holds 700 MB of data, but a CD-RW only holds 650 MB. Thus, the Ubuntu LiveCD image (as well as the alternate install image) will not fit on a CD-RW. This means that I must waste a CD-R for each version or flavor of Ubuntu that I want to burn. This results in more clutter, and ultimately, more environmental waste, than simply reusing the same CD-RW each time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-RW :
"CD-RW discs are usually produced in the most common CD-R disc capacities such as 650 and 700 MB, while smaller and larger capacities are rarer. "

Example of 700MB CD-RW: http://www.superwarehouse.com/Memorex_700MB_CD-RW_10PK/32023408/p/65399

Therefore, there is no problem.
