 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.
