As a fan of alternate (Very useful when installing onto a headless server for testing ;) ) apart from the fact it requires less RAM than a desktop install, it also beats netboot if you have more than one computer to install. Put this alongside the fact you can upgrade a system that does not have internet access using an alternate CD I do see a case to keep them.
But, it is the QA guys who bear the brunt of this... so please do reply to this email. Thanks, Phill.
