well one thing about apple is when they decide to ditch something there's their vision to it. although i'm not too sure i could do without an optical drive for now, with their new wireless stuff, apple tv and new video rental going on they are making a statement that in a few years time you won't need optical drives - everything, yes, everything's going to be done over "air" (wireless networks). even blu ray will become obsolete some day.
