That's quite the statement there papparonny. I wouldn't go so far as to make USB installation as the primary mode of installation, but more of an option. We're all use to installing from Live CDs like you said, and I can understand the need for making a usb-compatable version as well.
Clean testing does sound like a good idea tho.
