well, looks obbvious that simple it's divine. but, it may be fun to have many different spins as long as you have enough enough developers for the job, but when all you have is developers for desktop, then better minimize the rate of change, imho. also, i suppose one year release distance it's a more practical approach when you wanna change a lotta things .
so i agree with the idea that one dvd filled with only one package for every job is better than multiple cdsets/dvds, with duplicates.

there should be a everything set (2 DVDs) for people that prefer it and
want to install it on many systems. the only problem could be mirros but
it can be shipped as a bittorent only download.
And fedora should stop to really on a broadband internet connection. It
should be able to be installed without network access [1]. And software
should be able to be installed from the media afterwards, even for new
users [2].
We had this before moving to yum/pirut so its a regession that should be
fixed, I would even consider this as a blocker.

1:
Its only possible if you only want the packages that are on the spin
that you have downloaded.

2:
I know that its possible to create custom local repos and/or use a dvd
as a repo.
But try to tell this a new user coming from windows...
What would he do? Either go to an other distro or even worse back to
windows.
