However, I've the feeling you are starting it with the assumption that there is some sort of the opposition to the idea, while it seems to me that it simply something that hasn't happened *yet*. As usual, probably just because no one has done the needed work, yet. The answers to most of the question you ask is likely "yes, please contribute to the solution" :) More specifically, I suggest to contact the relevant teams first, instead of starting a -devel wide discussion which will surely gather a lot of opinions, but will also bring us no closer to have an implemented solution. I wanted to get in touch myself with the cdimage team, for instance, but ran short of time. If you could do that, it would be great! On the other hand, I suspect that asking only "what do you think?" wouldn't help much, unless you provide useful figures such as the ratio at which the image changes, the expected total size of the images, how much they are expected to grow over time, etc. Those technical aspects are all to be figured out before we will be able to move forward. If you can look into it, it would be great. Thanks!
