It wouldn't though, so that would be silly. For the master site, the .raw files are purely an artifact of the way rsync -H works, and are not really for public consumption, so what they are called is largely irrelevant. If you are arguing that debian-cd should produce .iso files, rather than .raw files, perhaps you're right. I'll probably continue to follow the convention established with the potato-test or woody-test directory containing .raw files, as a hint that they are probably not what the public are looking for, but as I said, that shouldn't concern anyone that's not running a mirror.
