Hey, I've been pushing for it for years :-)

But the last time I tried, the pushback was very strong from parts of
the world such as India and South America.  Where they had citations
about lack of availability of media and burners, etc.  And as we try to
push the (desktop) live image as the "best" method of getting Fedora,
taking those concerns into account seems pretty valid to me.
