There's actually quite a bit of interest in CF, and other forms of flash media. I suspect a couple issues are responsible for the substantially larger number of posts regarding CD-ROMs: 1) Like it or not, most folks first LEAF system is built from spare parts lying around, or perhaps an existing system pushed into temporary use as a trial LEAF system. In this environment, "standard" PC devices (like a floppy disk or CD-ROM boot) are the least path of resistance. 2) Due at least partly to the above, I think most "help it's not working" type posts come from new users who are following the path of least resistance, and booting with a floppy or CD. 3) It's not really that hard to migrate from a floppy or CD version of LEAF to running off a HDD, CF card, flash based IDE module, or pretty much anything else that looks like a HDD to linux, so I think there are a fair number of users running with flash that we simply never hear from on the list... 4) There are occasional flurries of posts regarding flash storage, especially with regards to write-protectable flash devices (which are hard to come by)...the latest have all been on the LEAF-developer list...perhaps you missed them?
