I wonder when Debian is going to give up on install CDs completely, anyway. A USB-based install is possible on even quite old systems now..

It has been seriously considered this time, and I expect this will be the last release with CD images.

If they provide a bootloader cdrom to boot the USB do-dad then it will work on pretty much all pcs, new and old.
