I'm neither of both, but here are my two cents:

I think it's a good idea.  Many old BIOSes are buggy when it comes to  
CD-ROM boot support.  Having an extra option doesn't hurt, especially  
for rescuing the system.    The change doesn't bloat the bootloader,  
it only enlarges an extra script slightly.  Having a bootable floppy  
image on a CD could be handy in some circumstances.  Maintenance is  
easy, since both CD images can be checked in qemu.
