The last time the CD media was dropped the crys and screams of terror from the "third world" that have never seen a DVD rom were considerable. If CD media was dropped I would say go half way, drop it for x86_64, people installing on 64 bit capable hardware are probably going to have a DVD rom. Those installing i?86 really might not.

I think you are right about x86_64 probably is going to have a DVD
Rom, I only have needed the CDs when installing i386 servers isolated
from the internet. I think we should start considering the option to
ship the net install ISO as a hard disk image to be used for USB boot,
I frequently install systems without optical media and that conversion
step (ISO to HD) is not intuitive for all users
