It's more a question of market share for each product than it is the
physical number of CDs.  If I make the FreeBSD 4.0 RELEASE product so
much better that people buy only half as many toolkits, for example,
then you can bet someone is going to want to know just how the price
is going to be adjusted so that the net profits don't fall simply
because I decided to be a nice guy.
