Proposal to drop Ubuntu alternate CDs for 12.10

It may behoove us to be concerned over being able to download and verify
the entirety of the packages that are not included in the mini ISO and
provide the ability to perform a command line install on one cd.  I know
that we do not currently offer the ability to order a hard copy of the
alternate cd.  However, there are other online vendors who do, which means
at present there is an existing way to order a *verified* *hard copy* via
mail.

Are we considering the difference between debsums on an installed system
vs. md5sum of a disc?  Also, where would I re-emphasize that we currently
have no gpg verification for any of our images despite it's adoption by our
competitors?

P.S.
