Hello Carlos,
this is not exactly what I understood in status meetings. For example
here:

Andreas said they are switching from tetex to TeXLive:

(18:02:44) <AJaeger>      Currently the major change is the switch to TeXlive  - from teTeX.
(18:03:10) <AJaeger>      It's done for most of the trivial stuff, now come some more esoteric
                        packages.

Moreover, I would not see the point of including a live edition of TeX
on the DVD/CD's of the distribution. They're going to include only
binaries, fonts and packages necessary to run LaTeX. That's why I
commented ;-)

With kind regards,
A.
