I'm not opposed to either of those, though I also don't feel that they are 
must-haves. I suppose we also have to start looking at the image size. The 
current alpha-raw contents seems to weigh >600 MB already. If we're going 
to add the full sources, we might hit the CD size limit.

still a reasonable amount of time to test it, I'm all for including OSS.
