The current DVD image is basically defined by comps and if you edit
comps, you can control the result and since rel-eng does the compose,
aren't they responsible for it?  If not, how do we fix it?  We cannot
just ignore that experience.  The desktop live image despite being the
default doesn't cover a bunch of use cases (ability to select a
different package set or even a different filesystem for example) and
Mo's survey shows that the majority of users continue to download the
DVD image and while taking the step of moving to a large image and
offering a better out of box experience solves some of that, it doesn't
make the proble go away. 

Alternatively,  if noone is responsible for it, why are we still doing it?
