It needs to be obvious to developers that they need a particular CD or
DVD to get the development tools.  There are a lot of people that do
work for governments, where they will not have Internet access.
Everything will need to be carried in from outside.

Yes, many of these people will be using RHEL because of restrictions.
I know of many that will be using some form of Fedora for a testbed or
development environment until it is time for deployment.   Please
don't make it harder for them to do their jobs just because they
didn't read the fine print about a lack of compilers.  Losing the
OpenMotif rpms has already cause some a lot of pain. (I understand the
reasoning for the change.)
