   Yes, I don't see what the point is in having multiple squashfs images on a 
CD.

    How about appointing someone as release manager? It seems as though 
currently everyone does a little here, a little there, without much 
coordination, and releases are a matter of someone saying, "Well, I think we 
could probably make a release now," rather than having a definite list of 
objectives and deadlines.
    Also, is it too late to get KDE 3.5.7 in, or would that cause too many 
regressions?
