When we will be sure these ISOs are really final, that is to say by the end of next week, club members and contributors should have exclusive access to the download edition ISOs.
For others ISOs will be freely available worldwide by the end of october.
Warly,
But what is your plan for availability and freezing of the trees that correspond and are more complete than these incomplete ISOs (for rc and final and release and cooker)?
ISOs are useless to most people with broadband bandwidth limits (like the writer) who already have the cooker tree, as you know. ISOs are also incomplete, as stated above, therefore are not a good base for release testing.
Distributing the tree instead of the ISO takes negligibly more mirror space and suits everyone, as long as mkcd is included so that CD sets can be made from the tree for giving to second level testers who lack suitable internet access. Distribution by tree also makes updating far more efficient and economical.
This remains my considered recommendation.
