Quoting Robert Millan <address@hidden>:
You could ask Marco or Okuji and see what they think about it. If they agree with you, I'll have to shut up ;-)
I'm neither of both, but here are my two cents:I think it's a good idea. Many old BIOSes are buggy when it comes to CD-ROM boot support. Having an extra option doesn't hurt, especially for rescuing the system. The change doesn't bloat the bootloader, it only enlarges an extra script slightly. Having a bootable floppy image on a CD could be handy in some circumstances. Maintenance is easy, since both CD images can be checked in qemu.
