For my two-cents, many organizations forbid using USB memory sticks for security reasons.
Makes one wonder what exactly is the evil thing one can do with a USB flash disk that can't be done with a (self-burned) DVD... (Except infecting a machine without DVD drive, of course.) But yes, I understand that making sense is not a requirement for rules of this type.
But would using multiple 4.7-GB DVDs be a long-term option? I recall, and may still have laying about somewhere, SuSE installs that came on a half-dozen CDs.
I don't think we have to care about long-term. The content we are putting into the image now will be interesting for 1-2 years, not more. We used CD's whe CD drives were ubiquitous and DVD drives were rare. Now CD images are out of question (except for booting network installation), DVD drives are (relatively) ubiquitous and BD drives much less so. In a few years, the situation may be different and so will be our choice.
