I have no idea of the number of sold boxes. I think they make it also
for marketing purposes, and actually I like the idea of the box. I know
more than one contributor that started "just to have a box" and then
became a faithful contributor too.

No box needed sounds a bit strong to me. However, who would prepare the
DVD's every four months? Is it really worth instead than downloading a
few delta RPM's? And what about the mirrors? Would they be happy with
such frequent updates?
