But I don't want a DVD.  It's a waste of plastic for something that will
be obsolete soon.  Netinstalls are the only sane way to go.  Donate money
to the project instead.

If someone thinks physical disc sales are the only way to count users,
then they are idiots (besides even Microsoft knows better than that.
They count sold licenses instead, and many of those (in fact most)
do not include any media anymore).
