Huh! Okay.

I was warming up to the idea until I got to the note that you could only have 
one release (and one variant? what does that mean?) in the directory.

If you could have an iso directory, and had a general tool that could go and 
give you a menu of OSes to install, that'd be kind of cool, speaking from the 
Large Implementation Systems Administration point of view.

Oh well, I guess it saves having to teach people to mount iso's, but I think 
that's a dubious trade off. Perhaps they are reaching for something with that 
feature.
