How about being storage-neutral and drop amd64-DVD-2.iso and

Streaming production of .iso files _is_ technically possible. Jigdo
effectively builds the iso file from chunks of ten or so files until the
disk is complete and checksummed. As mentioned, this query was about
stopping production of the .iso files specifically meant for the oldestMac
mini. That

As folk will be aware: we're building and releasing the final release of
Stretch before transition to LTS support. Testing is going well - there are
a couple of architectures that are built but not tested because the testers
have no hardware.
One set is an old Mac on Intel media, the other is
