I think it does make sense to have EANs for Debian, but perhaps it isn't necessary to have an EAN for *everything* we produce. E.g., we could have: - An EAN for CD1, DVD1, and BD1 for every architecture, - An EAN for the various live images - An EAN for "the full set" of DVD and BD images There's no need to have an EAN for, say, the armel DVD#10 or some such. Alternatively, we could assign EANs on a by-request basis; if a media vendor wants to sell a particular (set of) image(s) on amazon or some other such site that doesn't have an EAN yet, provide a contact for them to request an EAN for that set. -- Could you people please use IRC like normal people?!? -- Amaya Rodrigo Sastre, trying to quiet down the buzz in the DebConf 2008 Hacklab
