Sorry if this has been discussed, but has there every been discussion of a dual 32/64-bit install media? I realize that the default package selection would be reduced but with a high speed connection it shouldn't be too big of an issue. Having a single ISO for both my 64-bit desktop and 32-bit laptop would be quite nice.
It wouldn't make sense to make everyone download the default package set twice, when only a relatively small amount of people actually need to, and the extra work involved in downloading and burning two separate ISOs is so tiny.
But a combo x86-32/x86-64 install media OTOH would be very interesting for magazines that want to ship Fedora on a enclosed DVD, as that's cheaper than two and makes way more readers happy than a x86-32 only DVD. Ohh, and a combo install media might be interesting as hand out for fairs and conferences, too.
Just my 2ยข.
