Seems they do exist. The first one that popped up for me is http://kunaki.com which appears to be extremely no-nonsense. They'll produce and ship a CD in a jewel case with cover art and shrinkwrap pretty much anywhere in the world for about US$5.25. No setup cost. You can't update the product once it's created, but you can create a new product when you want. So one could create an AOO 3.4 product, a 3.4.1 product, etc. I assume that even if this was set up to operate at cost there would still need to be an ASF account associated with it, if AOO was going to list it as a certified source of CDs...?
