Well, that operation was done because of a disaster. It was damage control, actually. The normal DVD was simply impossible to install for many people. So we are fortunate that there has been no need to remaster the DVD again :-)
It was not a success story, but something better forgotten!
On the other hand, it would be nice if somebody could create an updated DVD, unofficial: meaning just best effort, no in depth testing, no wide mirroring, about 6..8 months after release, to facilitate installations on sites with limited bandwidth.
Alternatively, a DVD with the updates needed for the install DVD, not the entire repo.
Wouldnt it be easy to maintain an official Tumbleweed-DVD in SUSE Studio build once a week?
I don't know that Studio can be used to build installation media the way the installation DVD is built. I think that's done with kiwi, isn't it (which means it should be able to be done in OBS, doesn't it?) But Carlos brings up some good points about testing and supportability - something like that would need to be tested by someone, and personally, I'd rather the developers were focused on the next release rather than on "fixing" the current release media with the latest patches. The first answer I would be inclined to give to users who installed with unofficial media containing all current updates and were having post- installation problems would be "download the official release and try that, see if that resolves your problem" - precisely because these interim "releases" wouldn't have the kind of testing the actual releases have (ie, no alpha/beta/milestone releases, for example, and not being used by anywhere near as many users).
