Quitting cold turkey sounds better than switching from active to passive testing (only block if someone finds a failure), because all it takes to block release is a last minute "can't boot this" bug. Maybe it's practical to only support optical boot on either Lives or netinstalls (and by extension server DVD). I'd say block on netinstalls, just becase those can fit on either a DVD or CD, and desktops and servers are more likely to still have optical drives. Laptops just don't anymore for the most part. Part of why is dropping DVD playback support in Windows 8 and 10. To get DVD playback support now you have to buy the software separate from the OS.
