Do we need split media CDs for F12?

[Jesse Keating]

Don't be clouded by who is requesting it.  Releng qa anaconda et al  
would love to stop doing split cds.  Less confusion on what to  
download would be appreciated by many too.  We are one of the last  
distros to still do cd media outside of live media.  Is this a case of  
users not knowing there are better choices than split CDs?  Research  
into those demanding splits should be done and documented by those  
eager to continue seeing them produced.
