No, but there were like a zillion threads about these very questions when everyone rushed to download Lion that first day.
A bunch on this page:

I understand that Apple does not sell Lion separately on an optical disk. I was asking if they also eliminated the optical discs with all their Macs. That's a different question.
There may have been some threads about this, which I may have missed.
This was in response to the question:
so what if the HD (with restore partition) goes kaput?
Also, when Apple advertises a HD as 500 GB, how much of that is used by the restore partition?
Your other questions have already been answered.
Took about 5 minutes to find that page. C'mon spacey, give it a click, that-a-boy . . .
