[...] However, if I understand correctly, due to the space taken out by the live images, the promoDVD has fewer packages than the DVD download. With high bandwidth in this part of the world, anyone can really download extra packages as needed. However in many places, India, for example, that is difficult, as well as costly. So if it was possible to supply Ambassadors/Marketing with the option of promoDVD or normal DVD, to use as they deem fit, or a combination of both, maybe people could be helped better.
The PromoDVD misses mainly development packages. Handling of two different DVDs makes the process at the moment to complicated, it will not scale properly, I speak from experience when I had to handle three different media, it was a nightmare for shipping. Maybe in the future if we find better ways of handling the shipment but not for now. Btw we get a good discount, the more DVDs we order, so creating two will cost us more than just one...
