As somebody working with the Debian CD/DVD etc. teams: yes, absolutely.
There are real problems finding someone to maintain i386 images well/at all:
there are also problems coming up in generating live CDs because some of
the software will likely be removed in Bullseye.
I know it's annoying - but unless maintainers can be found, then the best
way forward for debian-hams stuff is as a task under tasksel in the
debian-installer, I think. That too is a bit fraught with difficulty -
d-i has its own issues of fragility.
