Why should we do that? As long as we can make the setup small enough that
it can even fit on a floppy (which is a nice goal by itself to not bloat
the distro) and _also_ support booting from other devices like HD, CD or
USB I don't see a reason to evaluate our minimum requirements.

In the case of pcengines WRAP this is USB support, not USB-boot support :-)
But anyway, why would you boot from an USB stick with a soekris or WRAP
when you have a CF card available in the enclosure?
