The main reasons we dont put them with the regular media and dont give them any attention is two fold, 1 they are dual layer images, which means you need to have a dual layer burner and dual layer media to burn them. which is more expensive than single layer media last I looked. and the second and more important reason is mirrors. from time to time we already hear complaints about how much disk we use on mirrors. We consume large amounts of disk already these images duplicate the media already of the mirrors but we cant hardlink them since the images are embedded into another image in the multi images. They are great for ambassadors and events and giving to people to test things out, but its a fine balance we need to keep. when I was first asked to create the multi images it was under the understanding that it would be for use at fedora events by ambassadors only. There is no way that Im going to put them on the main mirror without consulting with the people that run the mirrors first. the reason it is not known to most people and why its not recieveing any emphasis is by design.
