A paucity of Ubuntu disks

I hope I'm not the only one ordering Ubuntu disks this release; from
shipit.ubuntu.com

"100 CDs requested on 2007-10-08. 10 CDs were approved and sent to the
shipping company 12 hours ago."

That's probably the generic "10 Ubuntu CDs (8 PC Edition, 2 64-bit PC Edition)"

The shipping time is estimated at 4-6 weeks, so with any luck they'll
be in time for the November meeting.

I've noticed that with each release Shipit has been sending less and less disks:

Breezy (5.10) 100/100
Dapper (6.06) 60/100
Edgy (6.10; not offered via ShipIt)
Feisty (7.04) 25/200
Gutsy (7.10) 10/100

I guess that's what happens when you get popular but only have a fixed budget ;)
