That's a good idea, we can cut down the work significantly by only 
building for stable releases if we want to do a pre-built ISO. Once we 
go into package lock it won't be much trouble to actually build it.

I think I like this idea the most, IMHO the old LiveCD didn't really do 
a good job of showing how LiveCD's actually work. And AFAICS there is no 
other source on the internet that comprehensively covers how to make a 
LiveCD work, especially with EFI (wasn't even around back when the 
original was released). Case in point it took me about a solid 3-4 weeks 
of scouring through the internet three years ago to figure out how to do 
it for another project of mine.
