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.
