This is not true for Gentoo LiveCDs, stage tarballs etc. It may be true at the moment they are first uploaded, in that everything should be available on the mirrors, but as time goes on and we continue to distribute them it becomes false. Just try to retrieve the source for the historical distributions. For example, if we hand out CDs at conventions etc, we would have to also hand out source CDs. For comparison, RedHat et. al. distribute binary & source CDs together, both on-line and in their retail packs. -- Kevin F. Quinn
