+Hi Margot:
+
+You are correct. We are just discussing if we should be adding the 
+recent updates at all. With adding updates, there are still bug 
+considerations and the user may in fact install a distro that may fail 
+just by adding the most recent updates.
+
+But yes, the original ISO would be provided by the local community in 
+question.
