When booting from floppy disk -- as is pretty much required if you are using an oldworld PowerMac -- it is frequently necessary to eject the floppy disk. Currently, one has to use a paperclip for this because the Mac hardware designers did not provide a big fat "eject" button on their floppy drives. So, yes, there needs to be a way to eject things other than the cdrom. And (IMHO) it needs to be on the menu at priority=medium and lower. Enjoy!
