FWIW I agree with the general trend of discussion so far: let's find
things to drop that don't really need to be on the DVD so we can keep
MATE and Cinnamon. You can install those from live images or from repos
of course, just like anything else, but they are things it makes a deal
of sense to provide for offline users - probably more so than many of
the candidates for removal so far - and there is a substantial PR
benefit to including them.
It's good PR to have Mate and Cinnamon, another question is - with
Gnome Classic session - wouldn't be better to point our users to it now?
But I tend to agree with trend - aim on users with DVDs, developers are
usually able to bring stuff for theirs development needs (and there are
much more options to select the right set than desktops). So count me
+1 to remove it.
To address a couple of other points that have come up: the world
certainly hasn't reached the point where we can target DL DVDs or huge
USB sticks and forget about the SL DVD target, no. We still have
significant usage of the DVD images, ambassadors can confirm this.
See my comment - Ambassadors can't confirm that - we do not distribute
it any more. One more reason I forgot to mention: it's cheaper to produce
more Multi Live DVDs - we get discount based on pieces in batch.

Why bother with the DVD et all and enter countless debates what should
and should not be on it.
Why not just make the assumption that administrators will use the
netinstall and or ks and desktop users will use live spins?
