I can't think of in the Fedora case. I can image some situations where
install media is mandated to be read-only, but I doubt it's Fedora
being installed in those situations. The only other one I can think of
is "we've always done it that way", which I guess shouldn't be taken
completely for granted.

This is already a problem. We're giving away DVDs because it's
something to give away, not because it's what people really still want.
We need to find out some other take-homes that people find
useful and desirable *anyway*.

Based on feedback from Ambassadors, DVD images may still be useful
giveaways in regions with less access to bandwidth. I'm not sure what
to do about that.
