What do you want to achieve with talking to CD vendors? They'll need
at least half a year between updates so that they can produce cheap
and sell their sets. This collides with the Debian goal to let
updates flow into the stable releases after a not too long time. You
can't achieve both goals.
When you talk to CD vendors, please don't emphasize on r* at all.
These should merely small updates and not a reason to restart
producing CDs/DVDs again. Only when the vendor needs to produce a new
disk set they should use the most recent images from Debian.

Finally... That would be great.
