So now rather than having one set of images which we build, test,
mass-produce and send around the world, we have to maintain N. Which
adds whole new logistics problems. Not to mention infrastructure/mirror
space, lowered torrent efficiency, and other things of that nature.
So it basically ends up trading off one set of problems for another,
different one.

It may still be worthwhile to reevaluate the tradeoffs every once in a
while.

To me it will be better to have a Live CD not DVD, i agree that not most of the machines comes with DVD.
