discontinuing source ISOs?

Hi all!

Not release team, and I don't mean to hijack the thread, but...

With my flavor lead hat on, as far as I know, there's not a single 
official community flavor that is running their own mirror, and since 
our images are in cdimage.ubuntu.com, releases.ubuntu.com would be 
irrelevant anyhow. Every single one of our websites is pointing to our 
various pages or directly linked to the ISOs on cdimage.u.c or which, as 
I understand it, is not our own mirror. There are mirrors of cdimage.u.c 
out there, but those are not run by any official community flavor to my 
knowledge, and I would be extremely surprised if any were. I can say 
that they aren't run by Ubuntu Studio or Edubuntu. :)

However, yes, your assessment of not including the source ISOs, to my 
knowledge, is correct. That said, if there are source ISOs out there for 
the flavors, then I think the flavors should also have some say in this 
as this makes each one of the official flavors stakeholders. That said, 
I preemptively have no problem with discontinuance on behalf of Ubuntu 
Studio or Edubuntu, if they even exist.
