Nope .... have a look around at most dictation equipment and you'll find
a lot of 2.5mm stuff (I have at least 2 items). 2.5mm is also being
used in mobile phone communications - (hands free kits and car kits)
granted it's not really "audio" related.

I do agree here .... multi use plugs do serve you well when space is
a premium (like on portable equipment).

PS: Does anyone know the history of the 1/8th (3.5mm - actually 3.175mm if it
was 1/8") and 1/4" (6.3mm) jacks ?
