To participate to the debate, sure the floppy is obsolete. But think to
elder people who continue to use floppies: my 77 year old father is
using ubuntu for several years and he is more comfortable with floppies
than usb keys. It's like that, to follow new technologies can be very
tiring or uninteresting for elder people...

And think also to poor countries where some people are perhaps happy to
recycle old PCs of rich countries. Perhaps they use floppies ?

And surely a certain number of public schools in rich countries use old
recycled PCs to teach little children.

So floppy technology is osbolete but perhaps more largely used than we
could think. Ubuntu being "linux for human beings", my modest opinion is
that it should still support floppies.

Sincerely yours
Vincent
