Hi John,

Yes, that sounds like a good plan, but that would mean additional
respins (like they do in Fedora). Problem would be that such packages
aren't in CentOS 7 Base , so not sure that we want to build a live
media with packages not built by CentOS, and importing the whole
xfce/mate/$whatever into Koji/cbs.centos.org isn't foreseen right now :-)

OTOH, building those live media images is trivial, so if something
wants to do that on their own , they can :-)

- From all the opinions so far (and that's mine too), I'd say :
- - let's drop CentOS 7 LiveCD (as Fedora did a long time ago, for the
same reason I guess)
- - continue only to provide LiveGnome/LiveKDE as before
