The target audience is not too little to justify the extra QA?
Is it worth having them at all?
(Note that I'm among the ones who still uses CDs, a CD-RW)

If we keep them, we should show them as unimportant from a marketing
point of view (i.e. last in the list of media).
Otherwise the headlines will be "Mageia gives up on internationalization
for Mageia 3" or "Mageia gives up on x86_64 for Mageia 3".
The headlines should be "Mageia turns to LiveDVDs for Mageia 3".

These are now the main media then.

> Classic Installation ISOs
> 
>  - LXDE DualCD - all locales - Free only
>  - DVD i586    - all locales - Free/Nonfree
>  - DVD x86_64  - all locales - Free/Nonfree
