Yes, but what about release also DVDs, with most of CD also in DVD?. You can
easily transform DVD->'CD set' or 'CD set' -> DVD.
Even in definitive release time, you can release 'CD set', 'single layer DVD
set ' and double layer DVD with minimal effort, all based in a common ftp
tree with needed packages. Mirror site masters will be happy, I think.
