You won't be able to buy the disks that are being pressed with a
grant from Usenix because the money from usenix covers just enough
for each conference attendee; not to mention that it would be in
extremely poor taste to sell something someone else paid for.
In summary, I would say you made a bad assumption.
As to 'will we be pressing 1.4 CD's after Usenix?' I would hope to
be able to do so but until firm plans have been made, I don't think
we're prepared to promise anything at this point.
