    Well, i have't seen that message and the mailing list archive doesn't
    show it either:
    https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2024/03/threads.html
    (The one i reply to is your follow-up:

    I don't see the cd iso on the iso-cd page.
    I mean a usual one, not a netinst.

    I guess they have been discontinued because of the insane number of ISO
    images with 650 MB which would emerge. (I estimate ~ 130 pieces.)

    The smallest granularity seems to be the ~4.5 GB sized DVD images which
    are available via Jigdo download:
    https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-dvd/
    21 pieces.


    Have a nice day :)

    Exactly. Single CDs are just too small to be useful for most things
    now. We only just manage to fit the "netinst" into a single CD these
    days.

    are available via Jigdo download:
    https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-dvd/

    Yup.
