+
+As everybody can see from the afore mentioned discussion as well as by
+the answers to this announcement it is not possible to cater to each
+and everybody's needs & wishes.
+
+The solution for everybody (makers and users) would be a "Joe
+User-friendly" way to roll your own, ideal would be a GUI but CLI is
+also possible. Maybe a script which
+ - lists all packages including dependencies (as the individual
+packages selection does) so you can pack a customized live CD
+ - including the system related stuff with hardware recognition and
+drivers (as a normal live cd)
+ - including the "installer from live system to harddisk"
+ - at the end of the package selection hands out the size of the ISO
+
+And at the end it wraps up everything resulting in a customized Mageia live cd.
+
+This way Mageia would only have to distribute even less ISOs than
+currently planned (saving QA time) and everybody can roll his/her own
+flavor, depending on the purpose (showing and hand-out at events, in
+your environment, for special projects, etc.)
+
+I know that there is a way to do this already but I'm talking about a
+userfriendly "interactive tool" for the not so experienced. Looking at
+the work&time Mageia could save in future it may be a reasonable
+suggestion.
