Floppy Support

Is floppy support a bad crutch for FreeBSD?  With the constant fight to 
squeeze data onto the floppies and CD burners selling for as low as $30, 
one would think so.

I was a fan of the floppies until it became impossible to use them with 
JPSNAPs.  It would be good to have basic fixit floppies I think, but the 
install flops should be retired.  They were brilliant for their time, 
but I think those days are behind us.

How many people are still doing floppy installs, is there any idea?

Sincerely,
Pete...
