of course they dont , that's because the sysadmin should not be **that**
silly and will install the OS via the network instead of using this
non-sense proposal of having yet another DVD, double bandwidth costs,
mirror admins annoyed either retiring one ISO of the mirrors or pushing
more hardware and bandwidth for it.
The proponents of this idea clearly dont have a clue what having yet
another DVD in the official media means. this is not your home network,
it is the second most popular linux distro out there, is not that easy
to scale at this proportions. please use your brain before proposing
such ideas.
