The idea wasn't about saving bandwidth, but about increasing the testing time
available for cooker.
I mean 24 hours is just not enough time to give a distro any kind of "full
rigours" of testing.
A weekly ISO image, sanctioned by Mandrakesoft of the cooker distro would give
a full week to testers to "hack", as well as give those who like the hemoraging
edge (downloading via. network every day) what they like as well.
