In this particular case, just look at the current Extras as Rawhide, and
an eventual frozen set of packages as a Fedora Core release. Would seem
pretty trivial to me to freeze a set of Extras packages, test release it
as CD/DVD a few times, fixing all the major bugs and dependency problems
found (in both Extras and this frozen set), then releasing a final media.
The ongoing parallel life of Extras continues the whole time, might even
benefit from the extra testing, and people with no or slow Internet
connections can then have an easier way of installing Extras packages at
one point.
I know lots of people that have 28/56k internet connections that I
want to give Fedora to, but it's a lot of effort for them to wait for
hundreds of MB of updates. Would it be possible to provide
updates-released CDs as well, even as part of an automated process? A
bonus would be to have a way to install these updates on an already
installed system.
