Yes, booting from the USB stick.

# livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso /dev/usbstick
Then I can use the /dev/usbstick device on any computer that can boot
from USB (anything in the past 10 years). This method is what has
stopped working in F13.
It works fine for me, at least it did with Alpha (last point at which I
tested). Quite a lot of the 'live image' testing we do is actually done
with USB sticks, it's just easier that way.
Installing from a live image written to a USB stick is certainly
expected to work, if you're having trouble with that please do file a
bug.
