100% ACK.
People have to realise that releasing ISOs is not simply a one-man/day
task. It freezes a lot of resources in the openSUSE team for several
days. It's quite "expensive" actually (in terms of resources).

Maybe.
Just an add-on CD for YaST2 with the all the patches (and the metadata).
That's even something that can be done without relying on the SUSE team.
OK, who does it ?
But note that just rsyncing the patches would be pretty much the same
thing (and that can be done in an Internet Café too, just bring along
rsync.exe ;))

Yes, it can be scripted and automated.
