This is an option, but LiveCDs do not provide a minimal system, and
their intended use is more for a graphical user desktop.
VMs can be used for scriptable config and deployment of
test/staging/prod platforms, using shared recipes (chef, puppet,
other). Providing a pre-installed, predictable minimal system is
helpful in this case. I'm especially thinking about Vagrant boxes, but
other images can be used for the same goals.
It's not about changing/diminishing the current dev/packaging focus
for Mageia 2 of course (not the same priority), it's to complement the
build chain with an alternative way to use the platform in the end.
