Do you mean, Vendors should be encouraged to sell singel CD's ondemand? I was already thinking to do this from the Online-Store of my new Website but with "Non-Officiel" CD-Images since I know many peoples which use all the Debian stuff WITHOUT KDE/GNOME. Leaving out KDE/GNOME will save more then a CD of download...
