To be honest - I think it's worth spending money on providing information to our (potential) users than paying money to provide DVD for SWAG collectors. I know some people still rely on DVD and there are good use cases for DVDs but I'm not sure we really have to spend so much money on it or maybe produce less media and give it away on request not to everyone (getting started card with QR code would be for it).
