Thing is that SRCD does a lot more things than our mini ISO does.
As a result, keeping it going on half a dozen architectures is
more work than maintaining our arguably very simple images. There
is a reason why we abandoned making the "fat" install images a
while back and now only do them as one-offs for special events
(like the 10y anniversary).

While using SRCD will add manpower to our image-making, its
userbase will add constraints (X, Y and Z need to keep working,
even if we and our users never use it). I'm not sure it's a net
benefit in widening the audience several orders of magnitude more
than widening the developer pool.

Tobias
