Why not automate the packages to be the latest?  Isn't this what 
computers are supposed to be good at?  How hard would it be to make a 
bi-weekly package.  Release the packages as FCx.yymmdd   The ISO's 
would just be created from the current packages.  The date code 
provides users to know the date of the image.
