An alternative is to have "virtual ISO images", i.e. images which are
constructed on the fly (presumably by jigdo) on the web-server side.

I'm not sure why the discussion is always around DVD images.
Would you be equally happy with an image only for a USB flash drive, or
is it important for it to be an image for optical media?

I always found optical media very unappealing, even back when its
capacity and price were strongly in its favor.  Nowadays, I'm having
a hard time imagining a circumstance when it would be a good choice.
