I realised the F9 release was imminent and hoped to
get what I though was a minor addition included (A
minor addition which would have huge benefits)

I think the LivecCD with an extra 20mb of devel rpms
would fit on a cd with overburn enabled, easily. I
think k3b, nero, roxio etc can all easily do an
overburn. Why not release the standard LiveCD and
another one with devel rpms included and a warning
that overburn will be required?

If you monitor the download stats for these I think
you'll find the devel enabled LiveCD will be more
popular.
