Sorry, my response got somewhat easy to misunderstand :)
I meant it only as a response to the:
"it seems much less likely that 64-bit users will have the download
bandwidth problems of many 32-bit users."

</I>><i>
</I>
But many people have only 1-2GB sticks they could re-use ...
Not everyone can go out and buy new hw all the time...
And the downside of getting bigger live images is that they
do get slower to boot...

</I>><i>
</I>
Yes, I know... I've been doing ISO qa :)
we do need to reduce the media sets...
which is why I earlier in this thread suggested:
- 1 i586 GNOME english liveCD ("works everywhere")
- 1 i586 KDE english liveCD ("works everywhere")
- 1 i586 GNOME all-lang liveDVD
- 1 i586 KDE all-lang liveDVD
- 1 x86_64 GNOME all-lang liveDVD
- 1 x86_64 KDE all-lang liveDVD
That would bring the live* media down from 16 -> 6
And as data point...
With current mga2 livecd package config, building a liveDVD for one
arch/DE results in a liveDVD image with ~ 1GB image size
If we squash more than one DE on the same liveDVD there will be some
questions:
- Which DM will we use ? GDM? KDM? XDM? ...?
Then we get the complaints:
- "why should I need to download KDE stuff when I want GNOME"?
- "why should I need to download GNOME stuff when I want KDE"?
- "why ..."
and the technical side:
- stuffing more than one DE on liveDVDs means altering build process,
also giving more problem for little if any gain....
- every DE on liveDVDs still need to be validated, so no less testing/QA
- it means testing G/K/XDM starting GNOME/KDE/... so no less testing/QA
- ...
