 In general, I agree...  

 But, as an isolated counter-example; I need to rebuild XF86 3.3.5
 to test a fix for my particular setup.

 And, I'm not very connected to the net - so, I think "I'll just
 get the CDROMs - that's why I bought them..."

 But, then I'm surprised to find the source not there.

 I'm *not* advocating a change in what you do - I can easily understand,
 and my situation is not at all common... just thought I would 
 explain my surprise.  

 Perhaps if the sources are not on the CD, the install shouldn't
 present the user with an option to install them?
