The PromoDVD misses mainly development packages.

Handling of two different DVDs makes the process at the moment to 
complicated, it will not scale properly, I speak from experience when I had 
to handle three different media, it was a nightmare for shipping. Maybe in 
the future if we find better ways of handling the shipment but not for now.

Btw we get a good discount, the more DVDs we order, so creating two will 
cost us more than just one...
