There is a thread on gentoo-user currently.  It started out about the
GWN, but it's been hijacked to talk about the install CD.  If you want
to know what / why users want the install CD, then read some of the
comments from here on:

If the topic of frequent releases is put onto the survey, I would like 
to know what users anticipate as part of the new releases because new 
releases are based on the tree itself.  It has been a while since I have 
used a binary distribution, but when I did, I looked forward to new 
releases because new versions of X and Y were generally tied to it; 
which is not usually the case with Gentoo except where profiles dictate 
that.  Is the motivation for more releases in part the expectation of 
more features?  If so, also collecting their suggestions for a features 
list would be helpful. 

Also helpful would be making sure the user input on releases reflected 
all archs he/she uses.
