That still assumes everyone has high-speed bandwidth available, which is
a broken assumption.  If you think everyone should be downloading to get
most packages, why not make boot.iso the only distributed image and make
everything else downloaded?  That "solves" all the CD/DVD count and
distribution issues.

I am disappointed that the setup for Fedora Extras is to just have a
rolling-update tree with no ISOs.  That makes FE packages second class
citizens.
