The original point, though, was that for those who want a more current DVD for installation or upgrade, it would be useful to have a remastered DVD that had those updated packages on it.
That's the original assertion/request/question. So talking about Live media (which doesn't meet that requirement) doesn't really add anything to the topic, because no live media is going to have /all/ of the necessary updates on it, because no live media has all of the /original/ packages on it (that's only on the full installation DVD).

wrong
Please go back and reread Sebastian's original post in this thread. Then follow the link to his referenced e-mail, from Andreas. The question is *specifically* about an updated installation medium with the current versions of the RPMs on it, as was done with 10.1.
the problem is not the "live" part. The problem was the "update" part. I always understood, that meant the cd was a regular weekly built. Alas it's not.
The "Live" part is not part of this discussion. You (and a few others) are conflating the original request - for updated *installation* media (ie, the 4.7 GB installation DVD used for installations and upgrades) with the GNOME and KDE Live media. The latter are not part of Sebastian's request, as near as I can tell. Sebastian, if I'm wrong about this, please clarify.
and you can build what ever you want, up to 32Gb as 32Gb flash cards are cheap nowaday (I have lot of them around me, approx $20 each)
Of course. But that's not the topic that was asked about.
I even have blu-ray disks at hand (25Gb)
so do *not* feel blocked by disk size anymore
Yes, and I can get a 4 TB hard drive as well. That has no relevance to the request for a remastered installation DVD with the updates incorporated into it. It's about a media download that has stuff from the update channel integrated into it so new users downloading the media don't have to download a 4.7 GB DVD ISO, burn it, use it for installation, and then run an online update that downloads potentially mutliple gigabytes of packages post-install.
