This does not work for many regions in the world where net access is 
limited or extremely costly. Such as a CD is also not useful target in 
itself for redistribution.  You cant get into do anything useful for 
anybody without downloading stuff from the net first. For that there is 
already a boot.iso image which provides a network installation option.

I meant for example that one of the targets such as Fedora GNOME could 
by build by the Fedora Core team while leaving rest of the other 
potential variations like Fedora KDE or Fedora XFCE build by the rest of 
the community using infrastructure or tools provided within the Fedora 
Project.
