Yes, we could, assuming it doesn't take up too much space. It is also
suboptimal for the reason that one of the reasons for splitting
cdimage.d.o out is that people should still be able to generate isos from
jigdos even if the public mirrors get swamped for a few days/weeks at
release time.

But then, this is better than broken jigdos all the time.
