It's definitely not a good idea! In the world of mid-budget and low-budget audio production, burned 
CDs are still sometimes the master media (not something I recommend, but something that sometimes 
saves the client money on CD manufacturing). I consider CD support, both reading and writing 
MANDATORY in an audio production environment. I assume Apple's operating system allows for 
USB-connected CD burners?

BluRay will never establish a beach-head like DVD did. I doubt it will ever be a mass-media format. 
For TV video and more and more movie consumption, the world is already moving to lossy streaming and 
on-demand, for better or worse. For a movie "library," well that may be a quaint notion in a tiny 
niche market, assuming it's a big enough niche to keep a single BluRay line running (such as what 
happened to SACD).
