----------------------------------------+------------------------
 For the last few releases, we've been releasing two dual-layer DVD images
 - one contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit DVD images, and the other
 contains the major live spins all together with a menu for picking which
 one to boot.

 We don't really encourage public downloads of these, but we _do_ print
 them on physical media and distribute them at conferences and via the
 ambassadors program. Apparently, for F17, at least one of the images
 turned out to be badly broken and we printed/gave out several thousand
 coasters. Whoops. So, it seems we can't rely on these compendium images to
 always be working properly, and QA should be validating them before
 they're used for anything.

 We'll need to co-ordinate with releng, FAmSCo and possibly FPL on this
 one, for timing issues. The compendium images are built _after_ the main
 set of final release images, and this is probably unavoidable, because we
 have to sign off definitely on the release images before building
 compilations of them. So we should probably define an official schedule
 and process for building and testing the compendium images right after the
 go/no-go, on a schedule that works for FAmSCo and regularly-scheduled
 events where these media are distributed. CCing Robyn (FPL) and cwickert
 for FAmSCo.
