I have missed that discussion, so if it has been decided already, I'm late. But my feeling is that we're going to shoot ourselves in the foot with this. Our QA test matrices will explode once again, and we will be offering too many images with almost indistinguishable differences to our users.

The only difference seems to be branding (which can be generic) and partitioning scheme. People installing Server and Cloud are usually pretty capable of choosing their preferred partitioning scheme. I think this is not worth 3 more netinst images.

But I guess most of my objection is caused by the QA point of view.
