If both major DE groups don't care about the DVD contents because they
feel their respective Spins are their main concern, then it's not
entirely hyperbolic to just not ship the DVD at all.
Let's clarify before we go too far down this path: jreznik told me this
was the case for KDE SIG. Other members of KDE SIG don't seem to be
quite so clear about it, and no-one from desktop SIG has said they don't
curate their DVD contents and don't think that package set is important.
Sorry if the discussion so far has given a different impression.
I think we're
already heading down this path with the 3 product approach, so it's
not something to be cast aside as unrealistic.
You can see which path the 3 product approach is headed down?! Where do
I sign to borrow your crystal ball? :)
