Is that necessary? Instead you could have a checkbox "install
optional proprietary software" in the installer.
This allows for example magazines to distribute it
Are paper magazines still relevant here? (true question)
Yes, they are an important distribution method. Additionally there
will be reviews/articles accompanying the cover DVDs. Don't forget,
this is cost free advertizing!
My view:
- Free DVD (32/64) with a proper installer - distributing only live
media is a bad habit of some distributors, let's make a difference
there! As we have support of the idea of free software written in our
values we should stick to that. In addition to that we could include
non-free firmware in a part of the DVD, to be activated in the
installer (opt-in).
- 4 life ISOs (Gnome& KDE, 32& 64) for USB sticks (up to 1GB), they
work for all kinds of machines, even such without optical drives. The
additional space would be enough to include all langs.
- boot.iso, this is done anyway, so it's no extra work
Looks very similar to my proposal, doesn't it? :)
