As someone not familiar with what it takes to push out images I think
it would be nice to know what it takes to to push out an image, and I
don't mean from a "link me to docs" perspective as much from a "what
kind of work does it take for people and how long?" perspective.
I personally had no idea that a DVD image doubled the workload, from
my simplistic perspective it's just a CD image with a few more
language packs added on. Also, I have zero clue how derivatives and
other non-default images affect teams around the project.
(I am not trying to be facetious or a smart ass, but wow when you said
each DVD point release doubles your workload, OUCH.)
