We've had this discussion multiple times over the years. I've been
told multiple times that we still have a non-negligible set of users
owning/running hardware that can't do DVDs. I'm not 100% convinced
myself of how large or critical this use case is, but that's the
information I have. We *could* just drop all the CD sets and be done
with it, just keeping the netinst CD and the DVDs. Is that what people
really want?
