Which images to cover, that's the heart of the discussion. If you look into our test matrix again, we currently block on 6 of them:
* Workstation Live + netinst
* KDE Live
* Server DVD + netinst
* Everything netinst

What comes first to my mind is Server (DVD + netinst). My guess is that people don't install Server from optical media, but rather from PXE or USB. I can't imagine installing Server boxes from DVDs. But I'd really like to hear from Server users how this is likely or not. Also, Server is most probably not given away at events. I don't know about sending Server DVDs to the developing world, we can make an inquiry about that.

So an alternative to kparal's scheme would be to try and consider this,
and say we test:

* Workstation live
* Everything netinst
* Server DVD

and consider those to be representative of the broad 'types' of ISOs in
terms of the compose process. That way we don't have to test
Workstation or Server netinsts, or the KDE live, on optical media.

I think: Workstation x86_64 Live, and at least one netinstall image of
any flavor (from which, in a pinch, anything else can be installed via
kickstart).



I use the Server netinstall image. Use cases include loop mounting the netinstall .iso on boxes with Grub2 -- works on remote boxes where there is no physical access and can be easier than setting up a remote PXE solution -- and burning a CD for local boxes without Grub2.

I would be fine with dropping the Server DVD.

Does anyone maintain a up-to-date list of the content differences between the Server and Everything netinstall discs? Is there any difference other than in default preferences? Is there a way to do a single disc with a choice of "give me Server defaults" or "give me Everything defaults"?
