I think that's a good idea.

Also this is possible

Stable repo. is currently 4.4GB so im not sure giving whole repo. into DVD is 
a good idea :P

Currently (at least for 2007) we/I didn't want to add another DE into stable 
repository. It'll add an extra maintainence cost and all of the full-time 
devs are KDEish people. So currently full-time ones are not capable of 
solving problems in XFCE/adding more options/replying bug reports etc :(. 

I think best way to support another DE in -stable repo is to keep it into 
contrib for some time to make sure its problemless, stabilize it, 
learn/support/contribute it and merge after that cycle :)

You are a _Pardus developer_, which means you are always welcome and you have 
a important place in project :)

Cheers
