Just a question : why should we ditch the cd or dvd just because some 
guys said that's it was obsolete or inferior to the usb keys et al ?

Memory keys (and ssd and downlodable audio and ...) all have still a 
major flaw in regard to hard stuff like CD dvd or real hard disks, and 
it's their 'volatility'.

these memory devices just dies on us with their contents (our valuable 
or paid for datas, way more often than a hard disk or cd dvd stuff.

and I don't think this will change soon, not where we are now in technology.

btw, the industry pushes forward a total abandon of hard copy of the 
stuff we buy with good money, only to ensure that we would buy it again 
if it was to disapear 'magically' and the buying contract says so in one 
form or another...
Remember the 'robbery' that has occured when buyers of electronic books 
found a day that some of their bought books had vanished from their 
readers devices 'cause the reseller contract had been broke by the 
publisher of the books with some merchants ?

That will be impossible with a real book, or cd, dvd, physical bought 
software. (well if your house doesn't catch a fire at least ;))

industry does not want you to own what you pay for in hard form. as well 
as banks are pushing to the abandon of physical money (notes or coins) 
to have even more control of your hard won money and have you dancing in 
their hands...

sorry if it's OT, but just think to all this by yourselves. ^^)
