I think by the time that is an issue, CD/DVD and maybe USB will be
obsolete and have no more vendors.

It seems reasonable to add new media that is used for boot media for
devices that can boot d-i, I don't see any need to mention media that
can't be booted from (can SD/uSD cards be booted?).

I doubt the Debian media vendors page would ever be considered
important enough for a new media standard to use it for promotion :)
