Separate source CDs

I'm surprised that the source CDs are separate for each architecture. I would expect at least 95% packages to be compiled from the same sources. The remaining architecture specific packages would not take too much space.

Separate source CDs

The source CDs are only separate because of how the ISO build scripts work. The source CDs themselves should be largely identical and the SRPMS should be identical.
