Is the core problem simply one of space?  If all packages fit on HD-DVD
(Blu-Ray) for example then we no longer need separate spins? (forgetting
for now that there is no mass market penetration of said devices).

Will there ever be a removable storage unit large enough to hold all
available packages, probably, as flash moves along.

I have not bothered with DVDs for a long time, preferring instead to use
network boot as it's just cleaner/faster for me. It can be handy though
to build ones own DVDs with specific package sets.

Although with 8,16,32GB flash memory more common I'd rather just use a
simple application to select the packages I want a "burn" then to a USB
storage device, from which I could then boot/install.
