I guess nobody sugested abandoning floppy completely, but having such a CD 
would be nice. You could always write CD-RW, so it is not "wasted".

See the bug in the bugzilla - you have to create floppy with XFS tools 
yourself, since the tools didn't fit on the floppy. It is marked as WONTFIX. 

Making a CD instead would be a nice way how to get out of this.
