	Moreover, the source-only ISO could be shared amongst all 
platforms, and would not be specific to any one type of hardware.  So 
all NetBSD sub-projects would get the benefit of having a source ISO 
available, and all NetBSD mirror sites would get the benefit of 
reduced network bandwidth required.
