I think my age gives me a romantic attraction to the idea of BDXL. Engineering brain says "most likely, no." Per GB, spinning rust is faster, cheaper, more mature, physically smaller, less fiddly, easier to obtain from Walmart at 10pm Tuesday night, and doesn't require special hardware made by a handful of manufacturers only in a short window of time. As a small-run distribution medium, BDXL might be the right technology. All with the caveat that BDXL might be an improvement over an existing archive practice. For clarity not archiving is not an existing archive practice and BDXL is not going to transform anyone into the kind of person who systematically archives their work... ...you will use BDXL as much as you used floppies, CDR, Zip, etc. Good luck.
