for the sake of any god, please do NOT do it!

For two valid reasons:

1) you can't imagine how many time the alternate installer saved my,
when ubiquity wasn't able to boot on some computer.
2) You need it to setup RAID and I don't want to risk to mess my data
assembling a degraded RAID or something like that.

If you want to give me a valid reason not to use Ubuntu anymore on my
desktop, please feel free to remove the alternate install iso.
