bootdisk.img will likely continue to exist, which is the same as
boot.iso but designed to run on USB sticks.

Who knows, boot.iso may not actually "go away" per se, but will no
longer be the touted method to start your install.  rescue.iso is much
nicer in this regard as it has all the content you would have to
download again anyway (stage2).
