Why not?  Fred makes a valid point.  There are still, even in this
day, a lot of machines that do not have DVD drives.  This smells a lot
like the Windows strategy of obseleting older hardware.  That's not
the Linux way, and it really should not be the openSUSE way.  Some of
us are still using 10 year old hardware that at least runs a modern
system because of Linux.  But we are forced to do things the hard way
due to a lack of a usable installation medium.  How hard is it to make
the CDs?  And, it's not that much extra to host.  At least allow
someone else to host them if the openSUSE guys don't have the space
for them.
