Add new criterion:
- The installer must boot (if appropriate) and run on all primary
architectures, with all system firmware types that are common on those architectures, from default live image, DVD, and boot.iso install media when written to a USB stick with at least one of the [[How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB|officially supported methods]]
Why don't we merge these two?
..... when written to an optical disc, or to a USB stick with at least one of the officially supported methods
One criterion instead of two. Less text.
+1. I'd prefer one longer criterion then two a bit shorter (but still long).
Beta:

The idea here is that at Alpha stage it must be possible to create a working USB stick _somehow_, and at Beta stage, all methods should be working. We could push the second criterion out to Final, I guess, but to me, this is becoming pretty core functionality. Seems like writing images to a stick is as common or more common than using actual media nowadays.
Agreed, USB sticks are getting used more and more. Beta stage sounds reasonable.
ACK, we should have criterion for USB sticks as it's used a lot (for example: we've made some promotional usb sticks for university teacher).
