So we're leaving the developing world to Ubuntu now?
They can/have to use the x86 livecd anyway for their older system. We are talking about moving the x86_64 live spin to a DVD.
The problem then is that there are more configs to maintain.
Sure but how much extra work does this add? We can reuse the same kickstart files and add/remove packages where it makes sense. As for testing both need to be tested anyway.
And in point of fact, the x86_64 images were larger than CD-sized for a few releases and there were more than a handful of complaints from people wanting to use them on x86_64 boxes with only CD drives.
Any pointers to those complains ? This shouldn't be an issue for the majority of x86_64 boxes (and no I don't talk about boxes without optical drives). If there are same rare cases with such hardware they still have the liveusb option if they don't want to buy a dvd drive/burner.
