I doubt that! IIRC Red Hat too has stopped giving priority to boxed sets in the shops. The reason is it takes quite a bit of time to print cd's, boxes and manuals after which the physical distribution takes time too. By the time the boxed sets hit the shops they're already outdated. Nobody in their right mind would invest in that.....the only profit as stated is "visibility" which can be gotten a lot cheaper and more effective IMHO.
