Well, this is a "sensitive" problem that has been massively discussed on
-doc in past; for historic reason CDROM has been used in FreeBSD docs
(see Walnuts Creek CDs set...).
For consistency, it will be a huge work to change every
instance of the word in the doc/ tree, and I'm not sure it'll worth the
pain, the time, the bits used, etc.
