That news doesnt matter much unless you got an Amiga with HD-floppy like A4000 anyway. I dont think anybody still makes new DD-disks today and taping up a HD to fool the drive has never produced reliable results.
As many have said CompactFlash or something similar is more convenient for anything other than games.
I got feed up with floppies in the late 90s when quality dropped so 1 of 3 was faulty out of the box. Today its all usbsticks, sd and cf cards. DVD/CD-burner is only used for testing out new linuxversions.
