Canonical Plans To Drop Alternate Ubuntu CDs

On my country where internet from home is both costly and slow, I use alternate cds to update Ubuntu versions. I download Alternate CD from my university and use that as a repository for updating so total internet used for updating is minimal. Now its a bad news for me.

I simply preferred the alternate cd due to the text-based installer. It takes over two minutes to load the desktop on the normal cd.

I put this idiocy on par with the call to drop 32bit support, a great way to loose more customers or do Canonical think they have enough already?

Alright, not a too long time ago we did a mass deployment of ubuntu 12.04 by pxe-booting a pre-seeded alternative installer.
I'm very interested in how this will turn out.

For users with Nvidia cards this is annoying, I remember the time where fan didn't worked with open source driver.
If the card even don't works at all this more annoying.
