Yes, they are an important distribution method. Additionally there
will be reviews/articles accompanying the cover DVDs. Don't forget,
this is cost free advertizing!

My view:

 - Free DVD (32/64) with a proper installer - distributing only live
media is a bad habit of some distributors, let's make a difference
there! As we have support of the idea of free software written in our
values we should stick to that. In addition to that we could include
non-free firmware in a part of the DVD, to be activated in the
installer (opt-in).

 - 4 life ISOs (Gnome &amp; KDE, 32 &amp; 64) for USB sticks (up to 1GB), they
work for all kinds of machines, even such without optical drives. The
additional space would be enough to include all langs.

 - boot.iso, this is done anyway, so it's no extra work
