Looks like originally it was meant as a kind of Proto-Sid:

 "2) Debian will contain the most up-to-date of everything. The system
     will be easy to keep up-to-date with a 'upgrading' script in
     the base system which will allow complete integration of
     upgrade packages."

Here i see a good argument in case Debian ever discusses to discontinue
the ISO sets with all packages:

 "6) Debian will make Linux easier for users who don't have access to the
     Internet. [...]"


Happy Birthday Debian !


Have a nice day :)
