releasing (pre-ordering) offical (maybe boxed, too) NetBSD5 CDs and
DVDs? It could be a good gift for friends and would be a merchandize to
support NetBSD too...
Yes, it is a good idea.
These days boxed sets and physical media may not sell well so probably not
worth mass production costs. But maybe you can research various
no-upfront-charge distributors like lulu, cafepress and others to see what
is a good idea for this.

I think others do boxed sets too.
