If there are systems that cannot boot to USB, why not offer a boot disc that
would automatically search for USB drives, offer a list of bootable USB
drives, and allow the user to select one to boot from?

There really is a huge need for this kind of option. I love installing from
USB, since it is so much faster and more reliable, but I have many systems
that are unable to boot from USB. And if it is done right, this boot disc
would rarely (if ever) have to be updated, since it would work for past and
future Fedora releases.
