This looks like a change in util-linux that we need to adapt to. This is not a 
reason to drop optical media, in my opinion. Many systems, including the 
environment that I support both at Splentity and my employer require optical 
media. Even several of my personal servers also require optical media images 
to be able to re-image systems over their out-of-band control modules.

As mentioned above in this thread, there are a number of systems with BIOS or 
UEFI implementations that don't support booting from USB media to begin with, 
so the workaround suggested is not viable.
