The metadata on the first disc has to encompass all of them, there has to be some kind of reasonable way to opt-in to the fact that you've got everything, package ordering could be ... interesting. Also, the fact that the metadata will have everything ends up meaning that the memory requirements are higher due to "more bits". Or how do you drop the bits you no longer need. It's just a few little things that are in high-impact areas so the changes need to be made with a fair bit of care and testing. And given the schedule, I'm not that confident of being able to get them done.
