    First,  the world is moving towards DVD.  It's an absolute joy to
install Fedora off a DVD,  although I've often found that process of
downloading an manipulating a disk image that big can be challenging. 
(BitTorrent anyone?)

It's linked off of the fedora download page:

    My AMD64 has an optical drive that reads and writes every CD and DVD
format (other than double-sided) that cost about $100;  in the long
term,  the majority of users are going to enjoy that convenience.

DVDs are available but:
1. thousands of users don't have them/can't afford them
2. many can't boot from them even if they did have them
