Danke für die Erklärung :)

Then that makes sense and I can see your point. The “Live-CD
generator” would be used by advanced users, e.g. by Mageia
contributors wanting to create a set of German LiveCDs for the
LinuxTag in Berlin, and the average users could still download our
tested ISOs with all locales on the LiveDVDs / DVDs or in English on
the LiveCDs.
