I think we should plan to drop out real optical disks sometime in the
next couple releases. (In line with "'in an ideal world we'd test
everything' and 'but we really don't have time'".) I think the
hardware
on which Fedora will run well which cannot boot from USB media is
vanishingly small.
Well, that's not the only consideration though. There's two other
factors I can think of:
1) Are there still cases where an admin would want to use optical media
on a machine that *could* boot via USB, for legitimate reasons? (I
genuinely don't know the answer to this).
2) What do we do about handouts (giving away media at conferences)?
