I am not sure. I don't think so.

After a discussion with Anne (and related topic on -dev), I think we
should hold a quick related survey about:
 * people's perception over the advantages/preferences/disadvantages
of LiveCDs and full installers
 * people's perception over the separation of 100% free software
CD/DVD (providing only our "core" media) and non-free (providing core,
nonfree and possibly tainted, for hardware drivers for instance).

to make sure we are on track.

That's why a distinct, proper noun would be best. "Issue" may be
confused with "bug" or "ticket" in the bug-tracking sense. "Volume"
may be confused with storage volumes, however it could make it I
guess.
