Maybe we should postpone this question.
Let us release Mageia1 with two DVDs (one 32bit and one 64bit) and maybe 
with a live medium. Mageia1 won't be a big step but tries to be a solid 
fundamental for our further work, so no need to make a final decision now.
What about a large survey after Mageia1 which concentrates not only on 
Mageia user but the linux community at all (advertise this survey in 
linux media/newsprotals). Ask them, what they expect from a distribution 
or what they miss (yes I know not an easy task, need of standardized 
questions/possible answers). I think that could be really interesting, 
which doesn't mean that we have to implement every wish they have.
