On a seemingly unrelated note, I've been under impression that for a long
time, FreeBSD had some problems with generating "hybrid" installation
images, while both some Linux distrosi (?) and Haiku had long history of
providing *something* that can be equally burnt on CD and memstick.  Are
there plans for FreeBSD to do the same?  Frankly speaking, right now
assortment on ISOs offered by us seems quite suboptimal (e.g., there is
not baseinstall+livefs image, which seems the most desirable).
