Sorry for the delayed response. What I'm saying is that if there is a live workstation iso, then there should be also a full workstation iso that contains the development suite (as we know it from the recent past). I understand the development suite cannot/need not be included in the live iso, but it certainly can be included on a 4.3G dvd. And people can download the image and install without the media, as I've been doing for as long as that method has been available.
This is just my preference, because I feel more comfortable having all the packages I need on my local disk first, then install from there, so I don't depend on the network during install. But, if the trend is to provide a minimal install, then I guess we'll just have to live with that.
I too have been downloading the image and installing without burning it onto any media, for years now, so I would like to "second" the request for a full DVD image again, for things other than Server.
In my case, I have an extremely slow network at home and therefore download my Fedora images elsewhere, so being forced to do a "network" install now is a real drag.
(I posted a related question to the list about five days ago but there has been no reply so I'm beginning to assume it is no longer possible, for whatever reasons.)
