Thing is that SRCD does a lot more things than our mini ISO does. |
| 10 |
As a result, keeping it going on half a dozen architectures is |
| 11 |
more work than maintaining our arguably very simple images. There |
| 12 |
is a reason why we abandoned making the "fat" install images a |
| 13 |
while back and now only do them as one-offs for special events |
| 14 |
(like the 10y anniversary). |

While using SRCD will add manpower to our image-making, its |
| 17 |
userbase will add constraints (X, Y and Z need to keep working, |
| 18 |
even if we and our users never use it). I'm not sure it's a net |
| 19 |
benefit in widening the audience several orders of magnitude more |
| 20 |
than widening the developer pool. |
