I talked to Karanbir concerning merging multiple Images onto a Double-Layer DVD. From what I heard right now that's not a good idea. Someone doing professional disk duplication told me that they have a significant (i.e.>20%) amount of degraded disks when they produce DL-DVDs. As DL is just a few cents cheaper than producing three single-layer disks it doesn't make sense if burning fails that often.
So for now, I don't propose to do a DL DVD anymore.
to be honest I avoided DL so far due to price. over here they still are prohibitive, compared to SL
However, I do propose to merge x86_64 and i386 Live DVDs. They will both fit onto a single-layer DVD. That would bring us from 4 different Images down to three.
In fact we could try to do what Fedora did. They're able to autodetect 32-bit/64-bit and boot the appropriate Live Image. As that happens inside the bootloader we should be able to reproduce it.
definitely +1 here
