All of that is, of course, motivated by trying to spend QA time more
effectively. You can see the current coverage e.g. in this table [2],
overall we burn 6 DVDs and perform 12 optical installation (BIOS +
UEFI) for every release candidate published. We allow non-complete
(yet still substantial) coverage for Alpha and Beta, but 100%
coverage for Final for each candidate compose. That is quite time
consuming, both burning and installation from optical media take a
long time, it requires bare metal testing, and we can't use the
machines for anything else during that time.
Why not boot VM with virtual optical drive? You can choose BIOS/UEFI,
32/64bit and do not require bare metal hardware for it.
