Well, that's not the only consideration though. There's two other
factors I can think of:

1) Are there still cases where an admin would want to use optical media
on a machine that *could* boot via USB, for legitimate reasons? (I
genuinely don't know the answer to this).

2) What do we do about handouts (giving away media at conferences)?
