He mailed me personally first, and I've just replied to that
mail. Sorry, I've been falling behind on mail...

What I've said is:

...

During the final parts of the stretch release process, it became clear
that this image is just too small to be useful. It's missing too many
components for both amd64 and i386, so we decided to drop it I'm
afraid.

We've also seen that amd64 has *way* overtaken i386 in terms of users
such that most people downloading an image will not need i386 support
at all now.

Sorry...

Fwd: DVD multi-arch

Hi
We received the mail below at press@ and I'm not sure if we are still 
providing DVD multiarch images or only the multiarch CD netinst.


Can anybody of the CD team answer to Luc?

Thanks, and thanks for your hard work!

Best regards

Hi,
Debian 9 is now stable. Very good job !!

I'm used to download multi-arch DVD to install some computers 32 bits or 
64 bits, downloading fewer packages during install.

Last image isn't present on server, only rc5 installer can be downloaded.

Is there some reason to remove this image. Should I waiting for this 
official installer version, or rc5 will be the only version available ?


Thanks,
Luc Novales.
