Correct.

My thinking was that we don't really need to care about those ISOs now
that they have been long obsoleted. As you can probably see through
the changes, it took me quite a while to make these changes so I was
obviously being lazy to go that extra mile to keep supporting those
ISOs.

Anyway, do we really want to keep supporting those ISOs?
