If so, then please acknowledge explicitly that Fedora would be discarding
some 4% of running, otherwise-capable machines (especially old laptops)
that can read only CD and not DVD, some 7% of working USB sticks that are
512MB or less, and some 5% of working boxes that cannot boot from USB.
Those are wonderful numbers. How ever did you arrive at them?
Also: Live image still not the only install method, hyperbole is not
necessary.
