I disagree. I think it makes buckets of sense.

Reality 1: In a couple months time, any user who downloads and installs 
the Ubuntu Dapper CD will be greeted with dozens of megabytes worth of 
updates. Dapper will be supported for years, how many updates would 
there be next year?

Reality 2: The majority of the world is not on broad band internet. They 
  depend on sourcing a CD.

Or even if you do have broad(ish) band internet, installing on several 
computers would mean a lot of downloading to bring them all ready to go.

I think every month or two or so, the Dapper ISO CD's would need to be 
updated with the currenlty released updates.  The install process for 
Ubuntu is quite fast now, but if it involves downloading loads of 
updates then it's not fast, or easy, or smooth anymore.

Otherwise it's a matter of time before someone starts a Cubuntu project, 
for people wanting a current version of Ubuntu..
