How reasonable would it be to offer DVD images that fit on DL media? I
know I don't own any DL media, and probably most others don't either,
but I at least do have DL-capable optical drives. If a good enough
reason came up, e.g., my favorite distro making DL isos available, I'd
probably go buy some.
