What about the fact that we've always had a single merged distro layout for 2.1/3/4/5 ? There is a fairly consistent user experience and user expectation built around that as well, right ? Also, consider that having so many more isos and so many more repo's will also drastically increase the disk space requirements on mirrors. We could get around that to some extent using hardlinks between the repo's but the ISOS will need their own space. > A desktop / workstation version and a server version.

There are also the storage products, the computenode etc. Given that we have no support model, and it makes little sense to replicate pkgs for isos and base repo's I dont really see why we would want all that overhead. > I am sure to continue to use [optional]. why :) - KB
