Sadly, there is no room for the distfiles anymore since even the
packages, which are the #1 user requested items, are overflowing the 4
CDs.  I may be able to fight and win a battle to go to 6 CDs, but
that will only catch us up with packages and "various extra bits"
again.  Meanwhile, the distfiles have bloated up to around 3GB
and only the FreeBSD toolkit can possibly accomodate even a good
selection of them, so that's what we're doing now.  If you want
distfiles, buy the toolkit.  If you want basic release bits and
packages to go with them, buy the mainstream releases.
