For those with limited bandwidth, who'd download the ISOs first, then

because it would avoid them having to download packages (as part of the
ISOs) they have no use for, or have been updated/replace since the
release of the ISOs.

I don't know how others find this, but I personally am a big fan of grabbing the DVD ISOs, even with a relatively speedy connection. In this way, I can install everything I need from the disc(s), and get work done while I let the update do its thing.
