Alpha 1 - Manifest?

[Nicholas Skaggs]

i suppose I have no real horse in this race, but I'll toss in here. It
seems a bit odd to me to impose any arbitrary number on ourselves for
release. Rather, we should look at what we feel is important to ship,
test and support, and then see if it's within our intended media
targets. If we support installing in 30 different languages, let's ship
those language packs. If we could put both i386 and amd64 on the image
why wouldn't we? If we can support EFI and bios booting on the same
image, again, why wouldn't we? These are the types of questions I would
be asking. People may agree or disagree with those desires, but I don't
think they should be driven by space. Think about and agree on what we
want to ship, and then look at what options we have to put that onto
common media.

On a side note, we need definitely need to rename iso testing now (these
aren't isos!)-- folks already wanted to call it release testing, image
testing or something else.. Probably worth thinking about. Additionally,
the wonderfully named cdimage.ubuntu.com domain should be changed :-)
