1 in 10? Also these then need to be sold and thus packaged and so on.
Either you include them, or you don't. Just having then lying around
people would walk in and use them as coasters.

That you can always do. Wether they are willing to do so is another
matter. Also many people irder online.

Not realy an option for many people. Best way is to have a friend download
it for you.
Still leaves the question if there should be an ISO with sources at all. I
don't believe so. Some might use one or a few sourcescodes from selected
programs, but not enough to warrant a full source ISO download.
The main exception is perhaps the kernel source. Put the in the boxed set
and people with slow downloads already have that biggest part that they
might need. People who are willing to download the ISO, also are able to
download the files as is.
Write an extention¹ to makeSUSEdvd (as it standard looks if there is a SUSE
CD) and I will include it. That way you can download all the sources to a
directory, run makeSUSEdvd and have your Sources ISO to do with as you
please.
¹At this moment I personally don't think it is importand enough, so I
won't do it. :-)
