Since Blu-ray burners and media has come down in price (burners are as

the ISOs to also make a Blu-ray ISO available with the most popular
architectures? (e.g. amd64 and i386 with KDE and Gnome)
That's still 5.6x more expensive per GB than TDK brand 4.7GB DVD+R
blanks.
Probably a lot more expensive than a copy of the mirrors on LTO-?.
LTO-3 is 400GB uncompressed, and (depending on the manufacturer)
they cost about $28/cart. (deb files are already compressed, so you
wouldn't want to enable compression on the drives.)
Cheap, but still 40% more expensive than SL DVD+Rs.
And, of course, the drives, robots, etc are really expensive.
