Somewhere in the recesses of internal Apple email exchanges, there's probably a debate about whether they should just drop support for DVDs when they do the 32-bit transition. They're ruthless about old formats.

Apple still sells a USB CD/DVD burner, I don't think they'll be dropping DVD playback any time soon. I think it's more likely that they've had an intern rewriting DVD Player.app in Cocoa and Swift, and it'll ship in 10.14.

Do you suppose it'll support BluRay, by any chance?
