I'm not saying I've heard that either as I don't deal with the mirror
admins. :) But it is more overhead to keep track of for sure. And
there were a lot of other changes in the release process this time due
to the merger of core and extras. All that left the fine folks that
do the work with a lot on their plates.

I don't disagree at all that options are needed. I think there are
many methods for people to use to install Fedora: network booting via
the provided PXE images; the small boot.iso; the rescue cd; the live
cd; the dvd; using USB to boot one of the images; etc.
The one option that isn't there is the install from a set of 5 CDs.
Perhaps better documentation is needed so that people know what
options they have so that they can choose one that works in their
environment. But I don't think there are very many (if any) people
that are simply hosed without that 5 CD set of isos.
