Just note that I mean blocking by "supported". I am not talking about dropping capability of installation from optical media. Might have been slight misunderstanding and bad wording on my side. Also, I doubt that your "large portion" is correct.
 
UNetbootin has never been a supported method of creating USB media.
Optical media is a supported installation method.
 
It doesn't matter what was or wasn't supported. WIth definition of what I mean with "supported" above, if this proposal is accepted, UNetbootin wouldn't be supported too differently than physical optical media. Users would be able to report bugs with these methods and those bugs wouldn't be release blocking.

Practically speaking, I'd say that adding the same warning as is in UNetbootin section in Fedora Docs [0] to the Live CD section [1] would make sense, but this is just an idea and probably out of scope of this thread.
