CD/DVD Image Changes For The Upcoming Debian 9.0 Release

With Debian 9.0 not being far away from releasing, the Debian CD Images Team has issued an update over their fundamental changes happening for this "Stretch" cycle.

Highlights include:

- THere won't be the massive CD set of the Debian archive for Debian 9.

- The only CD-sized installer images still being made and published is the net installer image and a single CD image configured to install with the Xfce desktop.

- Debian live images now include UEFI support -- but as covered yesterday, the UEFI Secure Boot support might not happen for 9.0.

- There are now cloud images with OpenStack on ARM64 support.

- There will be unofficial Debian images that include non-free firmware for those needing it for their systems.
