Well, we can't keep the same service to users without keeping the same 
number of medias. And we NEED to reduce this number. So let's only 
decide if DVD keeps without nonfree or not. A poll? Both choices will 
keep the same numbers of medias.

As far as I can see, the easiest way to REDUCE media number is to switch 
Live medias from 700MB to at most DVD size :

- It removes the different localized version, it is 40% medias less.
- It does not remove ALL CD-R solutions, as we long as keep DualArch and 
boot.iso media.
- It fits in most current USB keys (4GB is the lowest size I can see in 
shops).

Yes, it removes supports for some old hardware solutions, which I 
install often, but we can't keep testing 19 medias. We have still lack 
of QA people!
