Speaking personally, no I have no issues with this.

That would probably be a show stopper in many third world countries,
but then again, as long as the developer edition has cd images, there
shouldn't be a problem. Solaris requires 512 mb of ram to install,
that is a limiting factor anyway
Dropping CD inages will be a big problem in India. Many individuals
and colleges having large labs with PCs purchased 2-3 years back have
only CDROM drives. When these colleges get onto the SUN University
program and want to install OpenSolaris on these machines they
obviously need CD images.
Dropping CD images will block out 50% of these folks. The situation is
changing and DVD drives are getting cheaper and popular but we still
need the CD images around for a while.
