Does the live CD install istelf have a prominent advisory "Avoid using
LiveCD for these cases [see http://... for explanation]" ?

This may be fallout from "Fedora Project does not distribute CD images."
Physical media are comforting to administrators (changing the bits is
easy to detect and prevent), many servers lack DVD, creating a local repo
can be a hassle, install from network drive is not widely understood
(and when it doesn't work it is hard to figure out how to fix.)
