So now rather than having one set of images which we build, test,
mass-produce and send around the world, we have to maintain N. Which
adds whole new logistics problems. Not to mention infrastructure/mirror
space, lowered torrent efficiency, and other things of that nature.
So it basically ends up trading off one set of problems for another,
different one.
We can limit the N to 2.
LiveCD -> "limited* package set"
LiveDVD -> "full* package set"
* better wording needed
