It might be worthwhile for the Fedora project to plan on doing a couple of ISO respins. Once a few hundred commonly used packages have updates, and the next major release is still months away, it can actually save bandwidth on the mirrors to have more-current ISOs, because all those sides then avoid updating hundreds of packages with yum. It's also nicer for people who don't have high-speed access, they can get a more up-to-date CD by mail.
