I don't think this is quite right. The ReleaseBlocking page would
likely not change, as the *images* themselves would remain release
blocking, we just would no longer block on them working when written to
physical optical media.
Rather, as well as the Installation matrix, this would require changing
the release criteria, specifically 'Supported media types' for this
Final criterion:

Proposal updated to reflect Final Release Criteria page change. Thanks, as for the ReleaseBlocking page, there is "optical boot is release blocking" column with "yes" for mentioned images, which would change to "no", should this change be accepted.
The proposal to drop the optical requirement entirely was first floated
by Matthew Miller in September 2018 on test@ , and there is a long
discussion thread following that proposal:

which may be helpful for context.
Link to the thread has been added to the proposal page.
