4 points:

1) Internet-enabled disk images are what Apple recommends.

2) We've been using internet-enabled disk images with Family with no  
users complaining at all. Not that we have the amount of users that  
Adium does, but it's worth mentioning.

3) Rogue Amoeba used to have problems with distribution until they  
switched to internet-enabled disk images. I do not know what they  
switched from

4) With bz compressed disk images, what's the real difference here?  
You're saying it's bigger, but is it really that much bigger?
