this is right if you think off users with huge bandwidth connections. but we had it already twice in Germany that a printed LinuxMagazin included the full iso, they also asked for a dvd. that always made Arch more public here and brought new users to the Arch community.
Ok... so then if we have too many packages to fit on whatever they want to distribute, make up a nice subset of packages for those situations.. that's what I said wasn't it?
This sounds easy, but when everything is intermingled, it will be hard to separate out packages. These separations/divisions have to be tested, like anything else, and sometimes we'll choose the wrong packages or leave out not-so-well-defined dependencies. Such ISOs will be of lower quality than the current full installer. - P
