Even if all of your objections are true, and who knows, they might
be:
we already do provide alternatives. The Live media is not the only
install media.
Yep, it's not the only way, we even have our bigger offering already.
And yeah, let's break CD rule but first - let ask if it still apply
or not. Maybe it's my imagination and 3rd world is not anymore
interested in this :)
For example to Africa, we even do not ship CDs but DVDs - so at least,
most people have a DVD-ROM drive :) The reason is - network bandwidth
and Installation DVD fits more packages...
