What would the advantages be of such a system? This is only about on what
CD things should go. So with your idea we would get:
A) 100% OSS CD 1-5 (As is done now)
C) NON OSS CD 6 (as is done now)
B) Partial OSS CD 7 (Used to be on CD 6)
Placing B on CD 1-5 is not an option, as then they won't be 100% OSS
anymore.
The moment B+C becomes large enough to split it up in different CD's, it
is an option to think about. I asume however that the consideration will
be done to rather take things of the CD and put them on FTP, not to add
more CDs.
