Don't discount that; it's still a convenient package for those well-connected
to the Internet to get the lot and mount it on /dev/loop[0-7].

I've been thinking about this.
I was in a shop only last week. I priced a DVD drive and bought a CD drive;
possibly my last.
I recall a few years ago, one could buy a multimedia kit bundled with Lotus
SmartSuite.
I guess that this release, 7.0, is the time to bundle RHL and a DVD kit.
7.1 just might be okay, but 7.2 will be TOO LATE. In another year, the sticker
shock won't be so bad and the decision to buy a DVD drive will be much easier,
and lots of folk will already have one. Quite apart from those who get one
with their new computer.
