While I can relate to some of the software changes, I always wonder why stuff like a floppy disk driver would be removed. What does it gain; 2 KB hard disk space, and 5 KB memory consumption?
While I don't use floppies anymore, there are a lot of devices that use floppies; many instruments (piano's, keyboards, organs, etc), and industrial machines. Granted, there are ways now to replace those floppy drives with a 'Virtual Floppy Emulator" that uses either USB-sticks or SD-cards, but not everybody has done so yet.
