Just for historical background of a few of these (not saying we
shouldn't revisit them, but so everyone starts on the same page so to
speak)

Feedback from non-US/non-European based locales is that CD media is
still very important.  The fact that the "Fedora spin" is DVD only gets
a reasonable amount of flak, but it tends to be deflected with "go use
the live CD" :)

Regional variants implies a need for more storage and more testing time.
That's the historical thinking anyway

The processor vendors are *huge* fans of this and users _who take
advantage of it_ are also.  The argument is that without the 32bit-ness
available and there with no intervention needed, you might as well
switch to a different arch altogether.
