Stop distributing ISO images
I think that we'll get there at some point and I want a place to track our thoughts.
-
We could distribute only USB images for virtual machines.
It requires not-too-complicated magic on the command line for VirtualBox. (#18054)
-
DVD represented 5% of WhisperBack reports in 2019/2020.
-
In June 2020, ISO images represented:
- 4% of downloads when compairing /install/download and /install/download-iso
- 29% of downloads across all download scenarios, including 17% on /install/vm-download
-
I don't think that any of our personas would ever prefer a DVD over a USB stick.
Benefits:
- No more #18045 (closed).
- Dropping a bunch of pages and code on our website.
