It would be real nice if jigdo distribution were to be supported.
It's a minimal amount of work and can be a real bandwidth saver (for FC2 
the jigdoes and templates for all i386 CDs and DVDs (4 bin, 4 src, 1 
rescue, 1 DVD) take up 1.5 MB), and with the mkisofs JTE patch generating 
them it is trivial and fast (generating via jigdo-file is bothersome but 
since it's a once per CD process, not overtly so).

Indeed switching or at least supporting jigdo would even allow the 
distribution jigdo files to be updated each time updates are released.
(Probably storing two different sets of jigdo template files - one for the 
original release and one for the newest updated set of CDs).

Furthermore is there any reason why bittorrent (possibly license 
problems? it's mainly MIT) and jigdo (which is GPL'ed) plus the 
jigdo template mkisofs patch aren't in core (at least not in FC2)?

It would also be useful if the precise command line used for generating 
all the standard ISO's (both CD bin/src/rescue and DVD) was available 
somewhere (and a list of what files each CD/DVD contains, probably md5sum 
generated) along with a single text file containing an md5sum checksum list 
of all files.
