We haven't reached any conclusion and it's really time to order
them.
That's why I propose we produce 1000 Workstation ones. I will also
order 1000 for usage of Red Hat Czech which will help us get a
better unit price.
That should be it. I would not order any other kind. DVDs are media
of the past, we produce them for legacy reasons and will
discontinue them eventually, so I think the minimal approach is
right and we should not ship full variety of Fedora offerings on
DVDs because it's not our primary way to distribute Fedora any
more. Let's stick with the default offering and with minimal
amounts and let's discontinue it in 1-2 releases.
